– Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm is the most affordable option we have. It has high quality surface and roughly is twice thicker compare to a standard office paper. This is a flexible option, easier to tack directly to a wall but could also be framed.

– Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm has the same high quality surface as 140gsm paper but thicker and heavier, more of a thin card density, and would be better choice if you plan to frame it. We always advise to use professional services i.e. framing shop, to frame your print.

– Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm is a superb heavy material and adds a “canvas” texture and a certain “luxury feel” to the print.  This high quality canvas is made from blended cotton and polyester and designed specifically for fine art and photo reproduction. To frame canvas prints we advise to use professional services.

We use professional large format and high resolution equipment to scan, restore and to print our images. At VictorianMaps we do not use stock or low resolution images. To create a product, we source antique prints and scan them at very high resolution and then painstakingly clean, restore and otherwise prepare each image digitally for high quality printing. We strive to balance the restoration and saving the overall integrity and antique look of the original. All our images are created by professionals and protected by copyright. Every new image and print takes a long time but now and then please check our shop for new products.

We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour permanence and up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints.

We focus exclusively on printing and do not offer framing services.

All our images are scanned, cleaned, restored and prepared for printing in-house and protected by copyright. Our restored images are unique and these prints can be purchased only from www.VictorianMaps.com.  However, the internet piracy at present is rife and we are compelled to protect our work with watermarks.  There will be no watermark on your print.

All our images protected by copyright, because every image is individually and professionally scanned, cleaned, restored, improved if necessary, and prepared for high quality printing. Our restored images are unique and these prints can be purchased only from www.VictorianMaps.com.

There might be a white border around your print, depending on aspect ratio of the original. All our posters are custom-printed and trimmed, but there are some specifics for different formats:

– All smaller size prints of A4 and A3 formats are dispatched trimmed in a way that allows fitting in a standard A4 / A3 frame, accordingly. This means that A4 and A3 size prints almost always have some white border, on two sides or all around, depending on image aspect ratio. If not required for framing, they can subsequently be trimmed by a customer on any office trimmer of A3 size.

– Prints larger than A3 are trimmed to the size of the printed image.

– Please note we are unable to trim super large prints i.e. longer than 1.5m. We offer some very long prints on condition that the white border on them would be left for a customer to trim – either by hand or, preferably, by a professional framer.

At present, we are not a VAT-registered business and do not provide invoices with separate claimable VAT.

This is mostly due to the size of the text of the original and/or the size of the antique original itself. When a large antique original is reduced to a smaller size print some text may not be readable. When a small antique original is enlarged then sometimes the quality of detail (especially of woodblock prints) isn’t acceptable. Please check our measurements: every poster has its own aspect ratio same as original and printed exactly as pictured.

Prints up to A4 are placed in transparent sleeve and posted in cardboard-backed envelope, unless purchased and posted together with a larger poster. All posters larger then A4 are rolled in transparent wrap and then in acid-free tissue paper and placed in heavy-duty postal tube for safe dispatch / delivery. We do not ship posters folded.

Every print / poster is individually printed, inspected, cut, wrapped and dispatched from our premises in Hampshire, England.

We have tested many and currently use two types of art paper and one type of canvas, which deliver high quality prints and reasonably priced.   According to your choice, we can print on Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm, Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm (more of a thin card density), or superb Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm. We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour permanence and up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints.

All our prints are high quality \”giclee\” reproductions of digitally restored antique originals. Each print is custom-printed and trimmed individually.  We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour  permanence (up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints). All our giclee prints are of the same high quality.
