The Map Merchant

Selected vintage and antique maps, charts and info graphics - restored and printed as fine art prints by designer Jon Jones.

Born out of a passion of old place names, Jon has now expanded on his collection of local maps to include personally selected maps, charts and infographics from the past. These are digitised, then cleaned and repaired before being professionally printed on fine art papers.

These mostly being highly detailed OS maps of the local towns, villages, and coastline, as well as a handful of Geological maps, and other choice finds.

Jon also offers personalisation options for all of his maps, this could include adding a persons name, centering a map over a town / postcode or feature. As well as being recently commissioned to produce a map centered on a wedding venue, with a list of all that attended the wedding typeset below, he's also created maps with both English and Welsh titles, one of which he donated to the local primary school.

Why not commission Jon (The Map Merchant) to personalise a map for yourself or a friend - a truly one of a kind gift.
