The Map Merchant

Selected vintage and antique maps, restored and printed as fine art giclee prints by designer Jon Jones.

Born out of a passion of old place names, Jon has now expanded on his collection of local maps to include personally selected maps, charts and infographics from the past. These are digitised, then cleaned and repaired before being professionally printed on fine art papers.
