Yellowstone National Park Travel Poster

We are really glad to see that you are interested in our maps! We create maps because we love geography and art. With this brief text, we aim to explain how we create these maps.

These are old maps that have been restored and merged with modern relief maps created using satellite elevation data (printed in 2D – the maps are flat to the touch), displaying the relief of places in a vintage and contemporary manner, giving them a new perspective.

The relief data is obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and we use some software and techniques to make the maps look like they have real relief. Some maps are not based on old maps; they are just stylized to appear antique or modern. Other maps, such as those of the moon, planets, and world maps, can also undergo this process. All the other maps are based on old maps.
Creating these maps is not an easy task. To summarize, the process can be seen in the images below:

Refund policy

We are dedicated to offering high-quality products. Due to
the exclusive nature of our maps, all of them are printed on demand. Our goal is to ensure your complete satisfaction with our products. If for any reason you are not entirely happy with your purchase, we offer a return period of 14 days from the date of receipt. To be eligible for a return, the item must be unused, in the same condition that you received it, and in its original packaging. Please contact us within this 14-day period to initiate the return process.

Wrong or Damaged Prints

Sometimes, we use the services of a specialized company to print and send out the maps, depending on where you live. This makes the process faster. Considering this, I cannot inspect all maps before they are sent. Please let me know if you have any problems with your map. If you receive your map and it is damaged, please send us a message with some photographs, and we will either send you a replacement map or refund your money.

Lost packages

If your map has not been delivered after the estimated delivery date, please send us a message and we will attempt to resolve the issue by contacting the carriers. Should the package be confirmed as lost, we will ship another product
