Andrew Johnston was a Scottish engraver and publisher, active c.1683 - 1730.

Bowles printers - the Bowles were prolific English publishers active in London for over a century. The family business was established by Thomas Bowles in 17th century and transferred to his son Thomas II in about 1714. The core of their business was publishing and map selling and their shop selling prints and maps was located in busy St. Paul's Church Yard, in the very heart of the City of London. Thomas II Bowles became a very successful London print-seller and publisher, having expanded to various formats of maps of London and environs, pocket folding maps, British Isles and world maps, and a number of atlas projects. His brother John Bowles (1701-1799) started a separate map publishing and selling business and has produced large amount of new and interesting maps. In about 1753 he was joined in partnership with his son Carington as John Bowles & Son. It was Carington Bowles who further expanded the family business in 18th century and published updated maps of London and the world, and experimented with caricature prints. Carington Bowles was succeeded by his son Henry Carington Bowles (1763 - 1852) and Samuel Carver, who mostly used the existing plate stock for printing and selling maps in the famous shop.

This poster is a high quality "giclee" reproduction of a painstakingly restored antique original, custom-printed on Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm or  Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm (more of a thin card density), or superb Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm, according to your choice. We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour  permanence (up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints).  This poster is suitable for mounting and framing, as well as direct display on a wall.

IMPORTANT: If you are going to frame this print we recommend art paper 230gsm or canvas 320gsm. The 140gsm art paper option makes sense if you wish to DIY-frame or to tack the poster to a wall without framing, due to it being lighter and more flexible. All three options are giclee prints of the same high quality.

POSTER PRINT QUALITY

Please note that our reproduction posters are  made to order   and every print is checked before posting.

Our restored images are unique and these prints can be purchased only from VictorianMaps.

There will be no watermark on your image but there might be a white border depending on aspect ratio of the original. Please note that when a large antique original is reduced to a smaller size print some text may not be readable. Please check our measurements: every poster has its own aspect ratio same as original and printed exactly as pictured.
