the product
Map Print sizes:

product types:
Cotswolds map 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.
Cotswolds map 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.
Cotswold map print artwork
A large map of The Cotswolds and surrounding area. My original map of the Cotswolds has different coloured sections representing the different portions of the counties that make up the Cotswolds. For the first time I have relased a Cotswolds map without these 'county sections' presenting the National Landscape as a whole.
2nd edition Cotswold map print - changes and improvements
A light off-white background has been added
A grid and reference system cited on the sites of interest for ease of location
Map expanded slightly south of Tewkesbury to make the border of the map be the River Severn and flow more smoothly
Map expanded slightly to the east in Oxfordshire
Thinner and lighter motorway with junction labels
Hilltop triangle symbols
Improvements to border, title, scale, compass design with elements of burnt orange added
Worlds Heritage sites of Bath and Blenheim Palace added
Railways and station labels changed from black to dark brown
Bolder river and walking route labels
100's of smaller streams and brooks added
Change of Cotswolds border around Bath
Military areas and labels
Consolidation of sites in Bath to reduce density of labels
Updated road network
The road network has also been updated. With 5 years passing since the design of the 1st edition I was curious to see how much road building had been going on. I was surprised to see how much. Not only at major projects like at Birdlip but the residential streets as many villages and towns grow with residential development. I have written a blog post about this you can find on the site.
Details on the map print include:
all civil parish boundaries and their names
all major and minor place names
complete road network
major paths and tracks
woodland and parks and open spaces
the rail network and railway stations
major walking routes such as the cotswold way
relief shadowing
rivers and lakes
There is a complete key and reference, title, scale and compass design unique to the map with specific place names from around the cotswolds in their relative positions around the compass.
An information section on sites of significant historical and cultural interest is included with reference across the map. These are sourced from the National Trust and English Heritage with a few others included that I like.
