Textured Finish Poster Prints
The textured finish that this textile display fabric material exhibits compliments the artistic nature of the historic maps that are available and can be fully appreciated in the larger format print sizes. These large format prints are far superior to paper based map prints, as they will not reflect light from overhead lighting and are tear proof. They are also fire retardant for indoor use. As with all other products they are produced on a made to order/print on demand basis, customers who purchase these poster prints can at their own discretion and choice have them framed for wall display once they have received the textured finish poster print that they have ordered.
Jigsaw Puzzles
Coloured 400 piece jigsaw (approx 47cm x 32cm).Produced on a 1.5mm millboard and supplied in a cardboard box, pieces come sealed in a plastic bag. A superb jigsaw for anyone interested in local history of the area you live or their family originate from. As the jigsaws are unique and not mass produced they make a fantastic gift.
Canvas Maps
Your choice of Map Image will be printed onto a supreme quality 410gsm cotton canvas and then assembled by hand, the canvas being stretched around a 20mm deep, kiln dried pine wood frame.
