“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!”

The Story Behind the Print
This detailed city plan captures Calcutta at the height of its colonial prominence, when the bustling metropolis served as the jewel of British India's administrative and commercial empire. The map meticulously charts the intricate network of streets, districts, and riverfront infrastructure along the Hooghly River, revealing how European urban planning shaped one of Asia's great trading centers.
Created during the Victorian era when British cartographers were systematically documenting their territories, this vintage map print showcases the precision and artistry of 19th-century surveying. Every ward, thoroughfare, and landmark is rendered with remarkable detail—from the sprawling Fort William to the dense residential quarters that housed merchants, administrators, and local communities in this cosmopolitan hub.
Reproduced on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using giclée printing and archival inks, ensuring this historical cartography will grace your walls for generations without fading. 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.
Customer notes
From our collectors
“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!”
“This is truly a high quality, authentic print of Texas, we LOVE it! We went with the big 48 x 36 print and it looks amazing. Justin was great to work with and very quick to answer my questions. Shipping was fast too. All around, we are more than happy with our purchase!”
