About vintage Map Co
Rescuing maps from library archives and giving them new life for all to see.
Welcome to Vintage Map Works, where history and art collide. Based in Gorham, Maine, we are a one-man operation powered by passion and expertise.
OUR UNIQUE PROCESS
We specialize in finding unique maps that are both aesthetically pleasing and rich in historical information. We scour libraries and public record websites to find maps that have historical significance and visual appeal. We then carefully evaluate each map to ensure that they are in good condition and worthy of being restored.
Once we have sourced the perfect maps, we utilize advanced graphic design techniques and technology to restore them to their former glory, creating a final product that is worthy of being displayed on any wall. As the original appearance of the maps from 100-200 years ago is uncertain, each restoration process results in a unique and original piece, blending elements of the past and present.
PRINTS THAT YOU'LL LOVE
Our motivation is a love of these old maps and a desire to give them new life back in the world, hanging in your living room. With that said, we’ve put in the time and effort to ensure that each print you receive will be a source of joy.
Attention to Detail
During our restoration process, no detail is too small. We take the time to meticulously restore each map, zooming in to the pixel level to remove any signs of aging, including discoloration, folds, rips, and marks.
Fine Quality Prints
Our maps are printed on museum-quality matte paper using high-quality inks to bring out every intricate detail and preserve the beauty of the map. The result is a true work of art.
Speedy Delivery and No Shipping Fees
We understand that you want your new wall art as soon as possible. That’s why we print and ship all maps and frames promptly and at no cost to you.
Our Promise
We take great pride in our work and have never had an unhappy customer. If you’re not completely satisfied, please let us know. We stand behind our products and will make things right.
