New Hampshire
Dover as it stood in 1877, drawn street by street and then assembled from a height no one could reach. Drawn by Albert Ruger, a German-born stonemason who drew more American towns than anyone before or since. Street names, rail lines, church spires and the shape of the river are all on the sheet.
Finish
Printed on 189 gsm enhanced matte art paper, edge to edge — the map runs to all four sides with no white border. The title block and the index of landmarks are kept; each map is only offered in the sizes its own proportions suit, so very little is lost to the edge. Sizes are standard, so any off-the-shelf frame fits.
Made to order in the USA and dispatched in 1–2 business days; most US orders arrive within a week. Free US shipping. 30-day returns for any reason. If it arrives damaged, send a photo and we reprint it free.

Packed to arrive intact
Each style is packed differently, because each one fails differently in transit.
Unframed prints
Rolled print-side out into a thick-walled tube with crimped end caps, so nothing creases in transit.
Framed prints
Foam corners, a bagged face and a double-wall box. The acrylic front will not shatter.
Canvas prints
Wrapped and braced so the stretcher bars cannot twist, then boxed flat.
