Each map is printed in the orientation it was drawn — most archive sheets are landscape, some are portrait — so every size comes in the shape of its map. Printed to order on matte poster stock by a US print partner, shipped rolled and unframed. The size you pick is chosen at checkout on the listing.

Why MapShopCompany
Real archives, named every time
Library of Congress. USGS. NOAA. NASA. FAA. GEBCO. Every antique map begins as a public scan and every listing names its archive and its record number. You could find the scan yourself, free — what you pay for is that we already did, and made it worth framing.
Restored, not filtered
Scanner borders trimmed. A century of grey lifted without bleaching the age out — the foxing and the tea-stain are the point, not the flaw. Exported at a true 300 dpi, and when a size is enlarged past the scan's own resolution, the listing says so instead of hoping you do not notice.
Unframed, on purpose
Prints ship rolled and unframed, the way every serious map shop sells them, so you can match the frame to your wall instead of ours. Digital files you print wherever you like, as many times as you like.
