Hands was a British painter whose work was exhibited in the art competitions of the 1948 London Olympics, and she later became especially renowned for her calligraphy—a talent clearly reflected in the graceful lettering and decorative touches throughout this map. Although not widely known as a cartographer, Hands produced a small number of pictorial maps; we have been able to trace only one other recorded example of her cartographic work. This piece fits neatly within the high-craft print tradition of post-war Britain, appealing to collectors of distinctive graphic design, fine paper and calligraphic art as well as lovers of regional and leisure mapping.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51638205186395,"sku":"P-6-110748","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-110748a.jpg?v=1761744166"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/hands-freda.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
