Our collection of historical world maps features original designs from the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. These maps were created by renowned cartographers of their time and reveal how the world was imagined, measured and depicted in earlier eras. Many editions include intricate illustrations, decorative wind roses and classic colour palettes characteristic of the period. Each map reflects the cartographic style, accuracy and artistic tradition of its century, making every piece visually unique. Historical world maps are not only fascinating from a cultural and geographical perspective, but also highly decorative for interior, editorial or educational use. All maps are available as high-quality digital downloads (JPG), with the option to order custom formats or tailored editions.
