Bartholomew’s Revised Half Inch Map of Great Britain: Sheet 24 - Vale of Trent is a testament to the artistry and precision of mid-20th-century cartography. Crafted in 1943 by the esteemed JG Bartholomew, this map is a captivating blend of political and physical geography, offering a window into the past. Known for his innovative use of color and detail, Bartholomew created maps that were both functional and beautiful, making them popular among cyclists and tourists of the era. This particular sheet captures the intricate landscape of the Vale of Trent, a region rich in history and natural beauty.
The map's design is a masterclass in cartographic style, employing a half-inch to the mile scale that allows for a detailed exploration of the area. Bartholomew's use of layered color bands to depict land elevation was groundbreaking, providing a clear and intuitive understanding of the terrain. This technique not only enhances the map's aesthetic appeal but also its practical utility, making it a valuable tool for navigation and exploration. The map's foundation on contemporary Ordnance Survey data ensures its accuracy and reliability.
Geographically, the map covers a diverse range of features, from the bustling urban centers of Nottingham and Leicester to the serene woodlands and rolling hills of the surrounding countryside. The River Trent, a vital waterway, meanders through the landscape, its presence marked with precision. Railways and roads crisscross the map, highlighting the region's connectivity and industrial heritage. The inclusion of canals further underscores the historical significance of these transport routes in the development of the area.
Bartholomew's map is not just a depiction of physical geography; it is a snapshot of a moment in time. The industrial areas, quarries, and bridges marked on the map tell stories of economic growth and technological advancement. Meanwhile, the parks and natural spaces offer a glimpse into the region's commitment to preserving its natural beauty amidst industrialization. This map serves as a historical document, capturing the dynamic interplay between nature and human development.
In essence, this map is more than a navigational aid; it is a piece of history, a work of art, and a tribute to the legacy of JG Bartholomew. Its intricate details and vibrant colors invite exploration and discovery, making it a perfect addition to any collection of historical maps. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a lover of cartography, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this map offers a unique perspective on the rich tapestry of the Vale of Trent.

This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.
Para la mayoría de los pedidos, el tiempo de entrega es de aproximadamente 3 días laborables. Los productos personalizados y a medida tardan más, ya que tengo que hacer la personalización y enviártelo para su aprobación, lo cual suele tardar 1 o 2 días.
Tenga en cuenta que los pedidos enmarcados muy grandes suelen tardar más en fabricarse y entregarse.
Si necesitas que tu pedido llegue para una fecha determinada, por favor contáctame antes de hacer el pedido para que podamos encontrar la mejor manera de asegurarnos de que recibas tu pedido a tiempo.
Imprimo y enmarco mapas y obras de arte en 23 países alrededor del mundo. Esto significa que tu pedido se fabricará localmente, lo que reduce el tiempo de entrega y asegura que no se dañe durante el envío. Nunca pagarás aranceles de aduana o impuestos de importación, y pondremos menos CO2 en el aire.
Todos mis mapas y impresiones artísticas están bien empaquetados y enviados en un tubo resistente si no están enmarcados, o rodeados de espuma si están enmarcados.
Intento enviar todos los pedidos dentro de 1 o 2 días después de recibir tu pedido, aunque algunos productos (como mascarillas, tazas y bolsas de tela) pueden tardar más en fabricarse.
Si seleccionas Entrega Exprés al finalizar la compra, priorizaremos tu pedido y lo enviaremos por mensajería de 1 día (Fedex, DHL, UPS, Parcelforce).
La entrega al día siguiente también está disponible en algunos países (EE. UU., Reino Unido, Singapur, EAU), pero por favor intenta hacer tu pedido temprano en el día para que podamos enviarlo a tiempo.
Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Algunos de mis mapas antiguos ahora están disponibles como lienzos enmarcados. Por favor contáctame si deseas pedir un tamaño que no está disponible en mi tienda.
Los mapas antiguos en lienzo son una alternativa interesante a los mapas enmarcados convencionalmente. Dependiendo de tu gusto personal y la decoración de la habitación, los mapas en lienzo pueden "destacar" un poco más que un mapa enmarcado.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
