Antique maps & prints make great ideas for birthday, anniversary & christmas gifts
Antique maps and prints make thoughtful, unusual and individual gifts that show how well you know the recipient. A well chosen engraving or chart of something in which you have a mutual interest can help to strengthen your bond with that special person.

Why not buy your friend, partner or relative a map or print of somewhere, someone or something that means something special to them (or to the both of you)? For example:
- A vintage map of somewhere they grew up (as it was when they were growing up), or
- An antique map of the place that their ancestors emigrated from (at the time that their antecedents upped sticks and left for pastures new) or
- A view of somewhere they lived, or where they took a fondly-remembered holiday/vacation.

- A picture of a favourite animal, bird, or flower
- A print of something that relates to a sport, hobby or other interest of the recipient such as astronomy, horse racing, golf, cricket, theatre.
