Heritage Editions reproductions are affordable antique-style maps

It's always nice to be able to afford an original antique engraving of a map, chart or in fact any image. However, it is not necessary to deprive yourself of their enjoyment simply through shortage of funds. Comfort yourself by the fact that many of the most sought after early maps and prints are very rarely seen today. Some exist only in Institutions. 
Many of the more interesting and decorative maps, particularly world maps, are now available as modern reproduction prints. More importantly, in Australia, the few really special maps that are important in chronicling the discovery of our country (and also panorama views of Brisbane in colonial times) have been published as Limited Editions, and are available as Heritage Editions from http://www.antiqueprintclub.com/c-8-maps.aspx or from www.heritage-editions.com.au

Illustrated, is the first English-published map showing Australia by itself, and not on a map of the world or as part of a region. This excellent map from the original copperplate engraving circa 1744 by Emanuel Bowen, has the usual descriptive text added by Bowen to the French map of 1664 by Melchisedec Thevenot. The illustrated Limited Edition map has watercoloured cartouche (title piece) and the coastal outline. The map is also available as printed, in black and white.

Be aware however, that there are many antique maps that are less in demand, or perhaps are not in fine condition, but are just as affordable as modern reproduction prints - and there are a much larger variety of these available. Check out some of the alternative antique maps at www.antiqueprintclub.com. We have hundreds more that have not yet been scanned or listed on our website, so if there is a region that interests you, just let us know sales@antiqueprintclub.com.
