"Canada - East", a masterful creation by the Polish Army Topography Service in 1967, is a detailed political and physical map that brilliantly encapsulates the grandeur and diversity of Eastern Canada. The map, with its meticulous attention to detail, showcases the vast expanse of Ontario, Greenland, Newfoundland, and Labrador. The map's style is an elegant blend of political and physical mapping, offering a rich tapestry of the region's topography and political boundaries. This blend of styles makes it an interesting country map as it presents a comprehensive view of the country's physical features along with its political divisions.

The map's main subject, East Canada, is a region of immense historical and geographical significance. The map vividly portrays Ontario, a province known for its vibrant cities, vast wilderness, and more than 250,000 lakes. The depiction of Greenland, the world's largest island, is equally fascinating, highlighting its unique geographical features and sparse population. Newfoundland and Labrador, known for their rugged landscapes and rich maritime history, are also meticulously represented, making the map a treasure trove of information for geography enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

The Polish Army Topography Service, the mapmaker, is renowned for its precise and accurate maps. The 1967 "Canada - East" map is a testament to their expertise and commitment to quality. The map's intricate details and accurate representations of the regions are indicative of the rigorous research and painstaking efforts put into its creation. The mapmaker's reputation adds an additional layer of credibility and intrigue to the map, making it a prized possession for collectors and scholars.

This map of Canada is not just a geographical representation, but a historical narrative that tells the story of the region. It offers insights into the political evolution of the region, the shifting boundaries, and the development of cities and towns. It is a fascinating visual journey through time, making it an interesting country map. The map's detailed portrayal of natural phenomena, landmarks, and borders provides a unique perspective on the region's history and geography, making it a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the complexities of Eastern Canada.

This map looks great at every size, but I always recommend going for a larger size if you have space. That way you can easily make out all of the details.

This map looks amazing at sizes all the way up to 50in (125cm). If you are looking for a larger map, please get in touch.

Please note: the labels on this map are hard to read if you order a map that is 16in (40cm) or smaller. The map is still very attractive, but if you would like to read the map easily, please buy a larger size.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.

The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.

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.

My standard frame is a gallery style black ash hardwood frame. It is simple and quite modern looking. My standard frame is around 20mm (0.8in) wide.

I use super-clear acrylic (perspex/acrylite) for the frame glass. It's lighter and safer than glass - and it looks better, as the reflectivity is lower.

Six standard frame colours are available for free (black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white and antique gold). Custom framing and mounting/matting is available if you're looking for something else.

Most maps, art and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte (not shiny) cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced box wood frame, and then 'float' the piece within a wood frame. The end result is quite beautiful, and there's no glazing to get in the way.

All frames are provided "ready to hang", with either a string or brackets on the back. Very large frames will have heavy duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

See some examples of my framed maps and framed canvas maps.

Alternatively, I can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag and other materials.

If you want to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read my size guide first.

My maps are extremely high quality reproductions of original maps.

I source original, rare maps from libraries, auction houses and private collections around the world, restore them at my London workshop, and then use specialist giclée inks and printers to create beautiful maps that look even better than the original.

My maps are printed on acid-free archival matte (not glossy) paper that feels very high quality and almost like card. In technical terms the paper weight/thickness is 10mil/200gsm. It's perfect for framing.

I print with Epson ultrachrome giclée UV fade resistant pigment inks - some of the best inks you can find.

I can also make maps on canvas, cotton rag and other exotic materials.

Map ageing

I have been asked hundreds of times over the years by customers if they could buy a map that looks even older.

Well, now you can, by selecting Aged before you add a map to your basket.

All the product photos you see on this page show the map in its Original form. This is what the map looks like today.

If you select Aged, I will age your map by hand, using a special and unique process developed through years of studying old maps, talking to researchers to understand the chemistry of aging paper, and of course... lots of practice!

If you're unsure, stick to the Original colour of the map. If you want something a bit darker and older looking, go for Aged.

See some amazing examples of Aged maps.

If you are not happy with your order for any reason, contact me and I'll get it fixed ASAP, free of charge. Please see my returns and refund policy for more information.
