The OYSTERS of NORTH AMERICA
From New World Cartography's Website:
Maps have always been an important part of any culture, whether for conveying information, power, or beauty. Well known maps of the 18th and 19th centuries were etched into copper plates, stamped on paper and color hand applied. These maps were carried by great explorers and adorned the walls of castles. They represented a perfect synthesis of beauty and information.

That combination of intellect and aesthetic is rare in maps produced today. Our company, New World Cartography, has taken this old approach of originally designed, hand colored maps and applied it to the 21st century world. Each map expresses the skill of hand drawn lines and text and shows the brilliance of hand applied coloration. All of this is done to a map that was conceived of by our craftsman … an original spatial expression of the world around us.
