Bringing back to life old maps.
Well, it all started a few years ago when I was trying to find some vintage maps reproductions. Though there were many shops which sold quality prints, I was disappointed by the quality of the images: old maps scanned with just some basic image enhancements. I didn't wanted an image with stains, folding signs and scratches . So I decided to restore myself some vintage maps.
All maps in my shop have been restored. I many cases it was necessary to reconstruct some missing parts. Some images needs just 1/2- 1 hour of work ; in other cases I spend days or weeks to restore just one map.
The images above are just an example of a vintage map before and after the restoring process . (this map is located in my shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/123216612/illustrated-and-embelished-map-of-the?ref=shop_home_feat_1).
