Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our vintage cartography and shipping.
What is the quality of your map prints?
Each map is printed on museum-grade, acid-free archival paper using high-definition Giclée ink technology. This ensures your piece of history remains vibrant and resists fading for decades.
How do you ship fragile prints to prevent damage?
We take great care in packaging. Smaller maps are shipped in flat stay-flat envelopes with rigid backing, while larger prints are carefully rolled in acid-free tissue paper and shipped in heavy-duty reinforced mailing tubes.
Can I request a custom location or specific year?
Yes! While our catalog is extensive, we can often source specific historical surveys. Please contact our research team through the 'Custom Order' page with the city and preferred time period.
Do the maps come framed?
To keep shipping costs low and allow for personal customization, our standard prints are unframed. However, we offer standard sizes that fit most off-the-shelf frames found at local retailers.
What is your return policy for historical prints?
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your map arrives damaged or doesn't meet your expectations, we will provide a full refund or a replacement at no additional cost.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Orders are typically processed within 2-3 business days. Depending on your location, standard shipping usually takes 5-7 business days within the continental United States.
