“This is a beautifully reproduced Audubon print. It has depth of color and fabulous detail. The additional detail in the background makes it look like a real print and not like a reproduction. I've seen many original Audubon prints at Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and this reproduction is extraordinary.”

The Story Behind the Print
This meticulously restored map captures Boston at a pivotal moment in the 19th century, when cartographers worked to document the Hub's unique geography with extraordinary precision. Created during an era of rapid urban expansion, this city plan reveals Boston's distinctive character—built on filled marshlands and connected by a web of winding streets that defied the geometric grid systems popular elsewhere in America.
The original surveyors who created this historical cartography faced the unique challenge of mapping a city literally rising from the sea. Boston's famous Back Bay was still being filled, and neighborhoods like the South End were taking shape as ambitious land reclamation projects transformed the urban landscape. Every wharf, common, and crooked lane tells the story of a city balancing its colonial heritage with industrial-age ambitions.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using premium giclée printing and archival inks for lasting color stability. 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 Maryland map I received is stunning-- high quality and exactly as pictured. The seller, Justin, was very knowledgeable and responsive to all my questions about the image. I was able to follow up based on information he shared and provide this information to the recipient of my gift of this map. I will definitely shop here again.”
“Very pleased with Justin's work. We received our print in less than a week and couldn't be happier with the final result. Both the map and the frame were high quality with great detail. Justin was also a pleasure to work with and responded timely to all of my questions. I would highly recommend this shop.”
