Founder Kevin J. Ryan
Coming from a creative background I've been a passionate collector of antique maps and decorative prints for many years. Some years ago I decided to build an online business that would better suit my work life balance. This gave me the chance to share my passion for maps and prints with others. People from all around the world buy maps and prints from us, mainly having previously discovered our etsy store and eBay shop.
Those in need of a professional colourist now often find their way to 'The Colourist' page on this website. I've return to working with watercolour, a skill first developed a few 'lifetimes' ago that was almost a forgotten interest. We now enhance selected maps and prints in our possession that we believe satisfies a very 'niche' market demand and we make these available for sale.
If you want to get items hand coloured please get in touch. Due to increasing time restaints we can only take on a limited number of projects. You can see examples of such work by clicking the link: " The Colourist"
