Old Map of Norfolk in 1807 by John Cary – Norwich, Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Thetford, King’s Lynn
This wonderful old map of Norfolk was originally published in 1807. It was created by John Cary.
Located in East Anglia, Norfolk is a non-metropolitan county full of beautiful coastlines, wildlife, seaside communities and countryside. It is bordered by Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and is the southwestern boundary of the North Sea.
Norfolk has a lot of history when it comes to aviation as around the time the map was published, several gas balloon flights took place in the county, and during the first World War, it was one of the first places on earth to be bombed from the air!
This map looks great at all sizes: 10×10 inches (25x25cm), 12x12in (31x31cm), 14×14 inches (36x36cm), 16x16in (41x41cm), 18x18in (46x46cm), 24×24 inches (61x61cm), 36×36 inches (92x92cm), 45×45 inches (114.5×114.5cm), 50×50 inches (127x127cm) and 60×60 inches (152.5×152.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 60in (152cm). Please get in touch if you’re looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x18in (46x46cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24×24 inches (61x61cm) map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
The labels on this map are very small at 10×10 inches (25x25cm). The map is still very attractive, but you may struggle to read the smallest letters. Please buy a larger map if it’s important to be able to read the map easily.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of Norfolk by Joan Blaeu in 1665.
The locations on this map include: Norwich, Great Yarmouth, Cromer, Wells-next-the-Sea, King’s Lynn, Thetford, North Walsham, Stalham and Downham Market.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father’s Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in Norfolk or someone who comes from Norfolk.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you’d like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
