Vintage SCOTLAND Map 1851 by John Tallis and John Rapkin

This stunning colour map of Scotland was created by the magical combination of John Tallis and John Rapkin who produced some of the greatest maps of the nineteenth century.

This classic map shows Scotland in the 1850s featuring the beauty of her landscape, the wonders of her architecture and the romance of her artists and writers captured in the quintessentially Scottish "Brig O' Doon" which inspired Burns. This work was originally printed in black and white but has been hand coloured making each map unique!

I have digitally cleaned this map in order to remove blemishes and most signs of ageing but have maintained the look, feel and integrity of the original.

A classic work that creates a centrepiece for any home and would look stunning mounted. This print is produced on premium heavyweight 230 gsm paper and uses the finest quality inks that will not fade or smudge.

This print comes with a generous border to allow any additional trimming.

It is a highly sought after work and a must for anyone who loves Scotland!
