Cassini is
delighted to be able to make
available a stunning range of
historical maps from the late
16th and early 17th centuries.
Sourced from the
Library’s world-famous
collection.
They are some of the
earliest, and finest, examples
of cartography. In
addition to Saxton and Speed’s
county maps, several
larger-format maps are also
available covering London, Great
Britain and the world. The
range will be expanded during
the coming months.
As well as being highly
decorative, the maps also offer
fascinating insights into the
Elizabethan and Jacobean
Britain. They are the definitive
maps of your county from the age
of Shakespeare – each one a
gorgeous vision of the past and
a superb addition to your home
or office.
If you’re
visiting our site for the first
time then you
probably already have a good
reason for being interested in
historical maps.
They appeal to
many people: local historians,
genealogists, home owners with
an interest in the history of
their area and property, walkers
and cyclists who want to see how
the landscape they’re exploring
has changed, metal detectors who
are interested in discovering
old paths on which valuable
items might have been dropped
centuries before: the list could
go on and on. Architects, archaeologists,
planners, solicitors and farmers
also often need, and are
frequently obliged, to know how
the landscape has changed.
Cassini
already produces hundreds of
printed and folded maps. Why
offer Mapmaker as well?
Because
people want maps in a range of
different formats. In general,
our printed and folded maps
follow the area of coverage of
the Landranger
series – so, our three map 174s
cover the same area as the
Landranger 174, but from three
different periods. These maps
have proved very popular and
will continue to be produced.
Some
people, though, find that the
area they’re interested in is
spread over two or more
Landranger-matching maps. Others
want to have flat maps at a
smaller size that they can frame
or put in a file with their
other research papers and notes.
Sometimes people want to have
the map enlarged. We know this
because they told us. For all
these reasons, we decided to
offer a service whereby you
could create the map you needed.
What is
Mapmaker?
Mapmaker is a
web-based service that puts you
in control of producing your own
historical map. You can choose
what area the map covers, how
much it’s enlarged and what
format it’s provided to you in.
More options are being added all
the time.
