Guida alle dimensioni delle mappe
Le mappe con dettagli intricati si apprezzano al meglio in formati più grandi, che permettono di valorizzare maggiormente i toponimi e gli elementi più piccoli. Ogni mappa è realizzata su ordinazione, quindi è disponibile anche il formato personalizzato: seleziona 'custom size' nella pagina prodotto e inserisci le tue dimensioni, oppure aggiungile alle note dell'ordine al momento del checkout.
La tua mappa occupa l'intero foglio, senza alcun bordo bianco aggiuntivo. Il design viene presentato come mostrato nelle immagini del prodotto. Per richiedere spazio extra intorno alla mappa, ti invitiamo a contattarci oppure a lasciare una nota con il tuo ordine.
Confronta qui sotto una selezione dei nostri formati standard, mostrati in orientamento orizzontale e verticale.
| 16x12in (40x30cm) | 20x16in (50x40cm) | 24x18in (60x45cm) |
36x24in (90x60cm) |
| 12x16in (30x40cm) | 16x20in (40x50cm) | 18x24in (45x60cm) |
24x36in (60x90cm) |
Mappe con cornice
Le nostre cornici standard aggiungono circa 2 cm (0,75 in) per lato. Ad esempio, una mappa da 45x60 cm misura circa 49x64 cm cornice inclusa, mentre una mappa da 24x36 in misura circa 25,5x37,5 in. Tieni conto di queste dimensioni esterne quando misuri lo spazio sulla parete.
Le mappe oltre 125 cm/50 in hanno generalmente cornici più larghe. Per una larghezza o uno stile di cornice specifici, scopri le nostre opzioni di incorniciatura personalizzata.
Mappe senza cornice
Hai intenzione di incorniciare la tua mappa autonomamente? Le indicazioni qui sotto ti aiuteranno a scegliere la soluzione giusta, in particolare per mappe di grandi dimensioni e formati meno convenzionali.
Scegliere una cornice adatta
Utilizza le dimensioni indicate per la mappa scelta per selezionare una cornice. Considera la misura dell'opera che la cornice può contenere, piuttosto che le dimensioni esterne della cornice stessa.
Ad esempio, una mappa da 18x24 pollici richiede una cornice che 'fits artwork' di 18x24 pollici. Per una mappa da 60x90 cm, scegli una cornice adatta a un'opera da 60x90 cm.
Per i formati insoliti, come 24x11 pollici (61x29 cm), consigliamo di attendere l'arrivo della mappa prima di ordinare una cornice. Le dimensioni possono variare di qualche millimetro, quindi misurare prima la stampa aiuterà a garantire una perfetta vestibilità.
Per una mappa che deve adattarsi a dimensioni esatte in centimetri o pollici, vi preghiamo di contattarci. Il ridimensionamento su misura è disponibile senza costi aggiuntivi per mappe superiori a 50in/125cm.
Incorniciare mappe di grandi dimensioni
Prima di ordinare una cornice separata per una mappa di grandi dimensioni, attendete l’arrivo della stampa e misuratela. In questo modo avrete le dimensioni necessarie per scegliere una cornice con sicurezza.
Se vi rivolgete a un corniciaio locale, portate con voi la mappa così potrà misurarla e realizzare una cornice su misura.
Un montaggio accurato aiuta le mappe di grandi dimensioni a rimanere ben distese e riduce il rischio di ondulazioni. Per un risultato con finitura professionale, saremo lieti di incorniciare la vostra mappa per voi.

Continua a leggereAlphonse Mucha’s Incantation (Salammbo), created in 1897, stages its subject as an elaborate ceremonial vision. A commanding female figure rises through the centre in a pale, flowing garment, her arms extended amid strands of ornament, flowers and richly patterned forms. Below, a second figure kneels beside ornate bowls and clustered blooms. Warm apricot, rose and deep red are tempered by touches of green and beige, giving the densely decorated scene both theatrical intensity and unusual softness.
The work draws upon Gustave Flaubert’s historical novel Salammbô, first published in 1862 and set in ancient Carthage in the aftermath of the First Punic War. Its heroine, Salammbô, is associated with ritual, political conflict and an imagined antiquity of extraordinary splendour. Such literary and exotic subjects held considerable appeal in late nineteenth-century European visual culture. Mucha translates that taste for distant drama into the distinctive decorative language that made him one of the defining artists of Art Nouveau: sinuous contours, idealised figures and ornament conceived not as a border to the action, but as part of its very substance.
A closer look
The eye settles first on the standing figure’s serene face and elaborate headpiece, then follows the movement of her hair and garment downwards. Fine highlights articulate individual strands, while bead-like details enrich the pale costume. Her outstretched hands extend the composition laterally, interrupting its strong vertical rise; small stylised forms appear to stream from them, strengthening the impression of an incantation unfolding through gesture.
A different concentration of detail gathers at the lower right. Here, the kneeling figure is partially enclosed by layered leaves and petals in pink, orange and muted green. Two ceremonial-looking bowls anchor the lower edge, one decorated with intricate motifs that echo the surrounding patterns. These objects provide a note of visual weight beneath the more fluid upper passages, where long vertical strands resemble hanging silk or falling water. Mucha creates depth primarily by overlap rather than conventional perspective: figures, flowers and ornament occupy successive shallow layers, producing an atmosphere closer to a decorated stage or tapestry than a naturalistic interior.
The composition is asymmetric but carefully balanced. The kneeling figure and profusion of flowers on one side counter the sweep of the central woman’s costume and arms, while greens and subdued golds cool the prevailing range of coral, blush and rust. A gently rounded framing element contains the activity without making it static. At the lower left, Mucha’s small stylised signature is integrated discreetly into the decorative scheme.
Context and significance
Mucha was a Czech artist whose career became closely identified with the flourishing poster culture of Belle Époque Paris. His designs helped establish a highly recognisable form of Art Nouveau in which the human figure, lettering and ornament could operate as a unified graphic whole. Although his women are often remembered for their elegance, works such as Incantation (Salammbo) also reveal the structural discipline beneath that grace: contours direct the eye, repeated curves bind separate motifs together, and limited tonal modelling allows pattern to remain legible.
Here, literary drama is not illustrated through a single emphatic action. Instead, it is distilled into pose, colour and ceremonial detail. The result belongs equally to the worlds of narrative, theatre and decorative design—a particularly rich example of Mucha’s ability to make a scene feel suspended between human presence and ornament.
Choosing the right size and finish
Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.
If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.
The model in the listing images is holding the 36x20in (90x50cm) version of this art print.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.
Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.
Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.
Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.
Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
