Vintage style map of Cairngorms National Park
Stunning contemporary map print design inspired by antique cartographic styles from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
 
the artwork
Detailed and carefully applied hill shading brings the landscape alive. All Munros, Munro Tops and Corbetts are distinctly applied and labelled on the beautiful wall map of the Cairngorms.
 
the product
Cairngorms print sizes: 
Large: 100 cm x 70 cm (original design size)
Small: 84.1 cm x 59.4 cm (a1)
 
product types:
print only on paper: 270 gsm (grams per square meter) fine art paper - a beautiful, off-white ivory paper. Printed using the latest HP fine art Giclee printing technology, guaranteeing the artworks colour integrity for up to 200 years.
 
framed print: printed on our beautiful ivory 270 gsm fine art paper and 'dry mounted' to ensure perfect stability. Spacers are added inside the frame to separate the artwork from the inside of the glazing. The back is sealed with framing tape to prevent dust, grime and creepy crawlies getting in. A string hanger is firmly fitted, bumpers on the bottom corners and L brackets to the top corners for larger heavier pieces for more secure hanging. Complementary wall hooks also included.
 
print only on canvas: artwork printed on 280 gsm cotton / polyester canvas rather than paper. The print comes with excess canvas material around the artwork perimeter for you to stretch it.
 
Stretched canvas print: printed on 280 gsm polyester cotton canvas. The artwork is stretched around a stretcher frame and fixed in place. Frame tape dresses the back, a string hanger and bumpers are added to the back so it's ready to hang.
 
Framed canvas print: printed on 280 gsm polyester cotton canvas. The artwork is stretched around a stretcher frame and fixed in place before being set in the display frame. The same brown frame tape, string hanger and bumpers are added to the back. Remember there is no glazing for canvas prints, the artwork is exposed, which is fabulous for viewing the work from any angle around the room as there is no glare.
 
Herefordshire frame options: there are 3 frame choices available from the cartographic arts.
matt black - 30 mm - width & depth
matt white - 30 mm - width & depth
light walnut - 30 mm - width & depth
 
the price is the same across all frame types and between framed prints and framed canvas prints. The only change in price occurs with size.

An information section on sites of significant historical and cultural interest is included with reference across the map. these are sourced and researched from the National Trust for Scotland, Historic Environment Scotland and Britain Express with a few others included based on personal choice. These are important to include but wouldn't necessarily be covered by these organisations, but offer significant interest to the history and culture of the area covered by the National Park.
