This is the greatest old map of London ever created. Put together by surveyor John Rocque and engraver John Pine in 1746, this map has an incredible level of detail. The cities of London and Westminster are already quite developed, but south of the river in Southwark and Lambeth it's still mostly fields!
I have three versions of this map - the original aged sepia, another in monochrome, and new for 2024, an exceptionally rare handcoloured version. All three are beautiful maps, but you can pick the one that best suits your aesthetic or room decor. If you are not sure which version you want to order, please get in touch.
There are 7 sizes available from my shop, starting at 150cm (60in) wide and scaling all the way up to 325cm wide. Three of the sizes, 162x76cm, 240x126cm, and
325x152cm, are specifically designed to fit into standard sized frames - 8x10in, A3, and 16x20in respectively. The 8x10in maps will also fit 20x25cm frames, and the 16x20in maps will fit 40x50cm frames.
You can either choose the map as a single piece, or as 24 separate pieces. The single piece is easier to hang, and aesthetically you may prefer it. 24 pieces is more authentic, as each map was originally issued separately, and it creates a very striking effect when framed on the wall as a giant grid.
I can (and have) framed larger versions of this map up to several metres wide. Get in touch if you're looking for a larger framed map.
I also have another option: one big map, with the gaps between each sheet removed. You can see an example of this here. Contact me if you'd like to order this version.
This large map would be perfect for a hotel, office, pub, bar or other hospitality space - but if you have a large space at home, then it would look amazing there as well!
If you would like a specific size to fit a certain space or frame, please get in touch. Small tweaks to the height or width are free of charge.
If you like old maps, this would be the ultimate statement piece for your study or drawing room.
No matter which option you choose, it'll be printed at incredibly high quality. You will be able to read every single road name and label on the map.
I have a number of other beautiful, large maps of London from different eras by different cartographers. Take a look at them here.
Please note that the listing image of House & Garden magazine is an example of what this map looks like when framed in 24 separate frames. That particular map was not created by The Unique Maps Co - it's just a nice photo that gives you a great idea of what this map looks like in 24 pieces.
