The
Sea Chart Series
Imagine discovering an old trunk and opening it to find a
centuries old navigation chart once used by some long-dead
sea
captain. You also find that the chart is full of details that no other
chart of that period contains. You would then find that your discovery
is worth many thousands of dollars.
You
need not look for that old trunk. New Maritima Press, has acquired the
Sea Chart Series from Ryan &
Black, Publishers, formerly of Salisbury, Maryland. The series consists
of ten Colonial Era reproduction charts which are designed to
incorporate the fascinating details such as long-forgotten place names,
inlets, coastlines , etc., found only in ancient land records located in
archives and courthouses. No contemporary map of the Colonial Period
ever displayed as much detail as our
Sea Charts. However, many of the original maps and charts of the
period were actually works of art and contained many intricate
engravings giving us a glimpse of Colonial life. To imitate this we have
incorporated pictures or vignettes of various persons, places, or events
relating to each specific geographic area covered by our charts.
Because of the historical detail, these charts are invaluable to the
historian or genealogist. Because of their appearance they make
exceptional decorations when framed and displayed.
The
Sea Chart Series is printed on
parchment-like paper, and to add to their authenticity they are designed
to imitate the originals that were printed from an engraved copper
plate, the method used centuries ago.
If
you are looking for a unique nautical decoration for your home or
office, or an interesting gift for someone else, these charts are what
you have been looking for. Chart your course into the past! Order now!
