Many reproduction maps that are available on Etsy are taken directly from public domain sources {NY Public Library, Library of Congress, etc}. Although great for research purposes, these image files frequently suffer from poor color accuracy, lens blur and distortion. The maps in our collection have been scanned from the ORIGINAL, flat, at high resolution and with precisely calibrated color. This allows us to prints replicas that are virtually indistinguishable from the original maps.
