Tabla de tallas

¿Qué talla debo comprar?

Si tienes el espacio y el presupuesto, te recomiendo comprar un mapa de 40 x 50 cm (16 x 20 pulgadas) o más. La mayoría de los mapas se ven mejor en tamaños más grandes debido a la gran cantidad de detalles que contienen.

Cuando compras el tamaño más pequeño (normalmente 12 pulgadas o 30 cm), el texto puede ser bastante pequeño. recomiendo contactándome si desea asegurarse de que un mapa se vea bien en un tamaño específico. Normalmente responderé en unos minutos.

Algunos mapas mencionan un "mejor tamaño". En este caso, el mapa suele contener etiquetas que son muy difíciles de leer en tamaños más pequeños.

Para ayudarle a elegir el tamaño correcto, estos son algunos de mis tamaños de mapas "estándar" uno al lado del otro, en orientación vertical y horizontal.

Comprar mapas sin marco

Si me compra un mapa antiguo sin marco y planea enmarcarlo usted mismo, lea esta página para obtener información importante sobre cómo enmarcar su mapa.

Pautas generales de tamaño

Generalmente, el tamaño que ves en la tienda es exactamente exacto.

Entonces, por ejemplo, si compra un mapa de 18x24 pulgadas, debe comprar un marco que "se ajuste a la obra de arte" de 18x24 pulgadas. Si pides un mapa de 60x90 cm, debes comprar un marco que "se ajuste a la obra de arte", es decir, de 60 x 90 cm.

Si ve un mapa que tiene un tamaño inusual, como 24 x 11 pulgadas (o 61 x 29 cm), le recomiendo encarecidamente que espere a que llegue el mapa antes de hacer o pedir un marco en línea. Estos mapas pueden variar de tamaño unos pocos milímetros, ¡y es muy frustrante si no encajan en tu marco!

Si necesita un mapa que tenga un tamaño exacto en centímetros o pulgadas, por favor contáctame

Mapas grandes

Por favor contáctame si planea enmarcar un mapa grande (más de 40 pulgadas o 100 cm) usted mismo.

Si vas a comprar tu propio marco, te recomiendo que esperes a que llegue el marco, confirmes el tamaño interno del marco y luego me digas el tamaño exacto que necesitas. Mida el ancho y el alto del tablero en la parte posterior del marco para obtener una medida precisa.

Alternativamente, cómprame el mapa, mídelo cuando llegue y luego pide un marco que se ajuste.

Para mapas grandes, puedo personalizar el tamaño de su mapa de forma gratuita.

Si va a llevar su mapa a un enmarcador local, él medirá el mapa por usted y luego hará que el marco se ajuste.

Mapas en tamaños de papel "A"

Si está buscando un tamaño A que no está disponible en mi tienda, como 2A0 o A4, por favor contáctame para precios.

Delve into the past with this antique map of Northumberland, meticulously crafted by Samuel Lewis in 1844. Steeped in history, this piece offers an unparalleled look at the county during a time of significant social, economic, and geographic change. Embodying both the spirit of its era and the timeless beauty of cartography, the map stands as a testament to the rich history of Northumberland, a region marked by settlements that date back to the Roman era.

Given its age, the map features some settlements under earlier names, adding an extra layer of excitement for the keen historian. Some modern cities may not be present, reflecting the evolving landscape and the region's dynamic growth over time.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving, anniversary or housewarming gift for someone from the areas covered by this map.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera negro. Es sencillo y de aspecto bastante moderno. En los mapas de hasta 36 pulgadas (91 cm), el marco mide 2 cm (0,75 pulgadas) de ancho. En los mapas más grandes utilizo marcos más gruesos, normalmente entre 35 y 60 mm (de 1,4 a 2,4 pulgadas).

En todos los casos utilizo acrílico superclaro de calidad museística (plexiglás/acrilato) para el cristal del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el cristal, y tiene mejor aspecto, ya que la reflectividad es menor.

Todos los marcos se suministran "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o con soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas para colgar de alta resistencia y/o un bastón de montaje. Si tiene alguna pregunta... siempre póngase en contacto!

Si quieres un color o material de marco diferente, haz clic en "personalizar tu marco" antes de añadirlo a tu cesta. Más información sobre mi enmarcación y montaje/revestimiento personalizados.

Como alternativa, también puedo suministrarmapa antiguo sobre lienzo, tablero de espuma, trapo de algodón y otros materiales.

Si quieres enmarcar tu mapa tú mismo, lee mi guía de tamaños de mapas primero.

 

Some of my old maps are now available as framed canvases. Please contact me if you'd like to order a size that isn't available on my shop.

Canvas old maps are an interesting alternative to conventionally framed maps. Depending on your personal taste and room decor, canvas maps can "pop" a bit more than a framed map.

Para la mayoría de los pedidos, el plazo de entrega es de aproximadamente 3 días laborables. Los mapas personalizados y a medida tardan más, ya que tengo que hacer la personalización y enviársela para su aprobación, lo que suele llevar uno o dos días.

Tenga en cuenta que para los pedidos enmarcados de mayor tamaño (más de 40 pulgadas/100 cm), y algunos otros tamaños enmarcados, el plazo de entrega será de 7-10 días.

Si necesita que su pedido llegue antes de una fecha determinada, por favor póngase en contacto conmigo antes de realizar el pedido para que podamos encontrar la mejor manera de que lo reciba a tiempo.

Dispongo de instalaciones especializadas en impresión y enmarcado en 17 países de todo el mundo. Esto significa que su mapa se fabricará localmente, lo que reduce el tiempo de entrega y las posibilidades de que sufra daños durante el transporte. No tendrá que pagar impuestos ni aranceles adicionales, y emitiremos menos CO2.

Todos mis mapas están bien embalados y se envían en un tubo resistente si no están enmarcados, o rodeados de espuma si están enmarcados.

Intento enviar todos los mapas en el plazo de 1 o 2 días desde la recepción del pedido, aunque algunos productos (como máscaras faciales o tazas) pueden tardar más en fabricarse.

Si selecciona Envío urgente al realizar el pedido, le daremos prioridad y lo enviaremos por mensajería en 1 día (Fedex, DHL, UPS, Parcelforce).

A veces podemos hacer la entrega al día siguiente si el pedido se realiza antes de las 10 de la mañana. Pero normalmente es mejor ponerse en contacto conmigo antes de hacer el pedido.

Mis mapas son reproducciones de altísima calidad de mapas originales.

Obtengo mapas originales y extremadamente raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego utilizo tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que tienen un aspecto aún mejor que el original.

Mis mapas se imprimen en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) libre de ácido que tiene un tacto de muy alta calidad y es casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/espesor del papel es de 10mil/190gsm. Es perfecto para enmarcarlo.

Imprimo con tintas de pigmento Epson ultrachrome giclée resistentes a la decoloración UV, unas de las mejores tintas que se pueden encontrar.

Por favor, contacto conmigo si está buscando una impresión en lienzo o en trapo de algodón.
