Founder Kevin J. Ryan

Coming from a creative background  I've been  a passionate collector of antique maps and decorative prints for many years.   Having amassed a modest collection some years ago I decided to start selling as I wanted 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.  Now people from all around the world buy maps and prints from us, mainly having also 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"

​" We're very boutique, we don't have the largest stock but we do have some real gems and a huge amount of passion and enthusiasm for the subject - plus lots of free advice and resources "

The secret of getting ahead is getting started - Mark Twain


​If you're on the fence about starting a collection or just need some pointers then spend some time exploring the  BLOG page.   You can get a feel for whats involved,  get some pointers and most importantly free advice to help avoid spending a fortune when you simply don't need to.
