“I contacted Paolo to see if she had a map of a certain coastal area that wasn't currently available on her site. She responded within a few hours and located the print by the next day. I received the map a few days after shipping. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the print or the service. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with!!!”

The Story Behind the Print
This meticulously restored map captures Birmingham at the height of England's Industrial Revolution, when the city was transforming from a modest market town into the workshop of the world. Created by British cartographers in the mid-1800s, this detailed city plan documents Birmingham's expanding industrial infrastructure—the canals, railways, and factory districts that earned it the nickname "the city of a thousand trades."
The map reveals a moment of unprecedented urban growth, showing the network of waterways that first brought prosperity to Birmingham, alongside the newer railway lines that would cement its position as England's manufacturing heart. Street by street, this historical cartography tells the story of a city reshaping itself for the modern age, complete with the emerging neighborhoods that housed the growing population of metalworkers, gunsmiths, and jewelers.
Printed on museum-grade 325gsm archival matte paper using giclée printing and archival inks for exceptional detail and longevity.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with a 1.125 inch face, glazed in crystal-clear acrylic, and finished with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire. Your print is dry mounted so it stays perfectly flat for decades. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang.
The frame adds roughly 1.75 inches to each side of the print size you select. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.

“The print is beautiful and exactly what I expected. The customer service was OUTSTANDING. The seller went above and beyond to make sure I got my item in time for Christmas and even sent out a new one next day shipped because the first one wasn’t moving along fast enough through the postal service. Definitely recommend this seller and will be purchasing more from this shop in the future. Thank you!”
“I love this map! It came in perfect condition and it is beautiful! We had to get a custom frame which can get pricey, especially for the size we chose 48 × 36 but it looks great and filled our large wall perfectly! Great find!”
