Guida alle dimensioni della mappa
In generale, le mappe sembrano migliori a dimensioni maggiori, in particolare le mappe con molti dettagli. Poiché ogni ordine è realizzato a mano, è disponibile dimensionamento personalizzato: seleziona 'dimensione personalizzata' nella pagina del prodotto e compila le dimensioni, oppure inseriscile nelle note dell'ordine nella schermata di pagamento.
Per aiutarti a scegliere la dimensione giusta, ecco alcune delle mie dimensioni di mappa 'standard' affiancate, in orientamento verticale e orizzontale.
| 16x12in (40x30cm) | 20x16in (50x40cm) | 24x18in (60x45cm) |
36x24in (90x60cm) |
| 12x16in (30x40cm) | 16x20in (40x50cm) | 18x24in (45x60cm) |
24x36in (60x90cm) |
Acquisto di mappe incorniciate
Le nostre cornici standard aggiungono circa 2 cm (0.75 in) a ciascun lato della mappa. Quindi, una mappa 45x60 cm sarà 49x64 cm quando incorniciata, oppure una mappa 24x36 in sarà 25.5x37.5 in.
Le mappe più grandi oltre 125 cm/50 in di solito hanno cornici più larghe, e cornici personalizzate sono disponibili se stai cercando una larghezza o uno stile di cornice specifico
Acquisto di mappe non incorniciate
Se acquisti una mappa antica non incorniciata da me e intendi incorniciarla tu stesso, ti prego di leggere questa pagina per informazioni importanti sull'incorniciatura della tua mappa.
Linee guida generali sulle dimensioni
In generale, la dimensione che vedi nel negozio è esattamente accurata.
Quindi, ad esempio, se acquisti una mappa di 18x24 pollici, dovresti acquistare una cornice che 'si adatta all'opera d'arte' che è 18x24 pollici. Se ordini una mappa di 60x90 cm, dovresti acquistare una cornice che 'si adatta all'opera d'arte' che è 60x90 cm.
Se vedi una mappa che ha una dimensione insolita, come 24x11 pollici (o 61x29 cm), ti consiglio vivamente di aspettare che la mappa arrivi prima di realizzare o ordinare una cornice online. Queste mappe possono variare in dimensione di pochi millimetri, ed è molto frustrante se non si adattano alla tua cornice!
Se hai bisogno di una mappa che abbia una dimensione esatta in centimetri o pollici, ti prego di contattarmi. Per mappe più grandi oltre 50 in/125 cm posso personalizzare la dimensione gratuitamente.
Mappe grandi
Se stai incorniciando la mappa da solo, ti preghiamo di ordinare la mappa e aspettare che arrivi. Poi misura la mappa e ordina una cornice adatta.
Se porti la tua mappa a un corniciaio locale, loro misureranno la mappa per te e poi realizzeranno la cornice adatta.
Per mappe più grandi, assicurati di incollarle correttamente o diventeranno ondulate e con bolle dopo poco tempo. In alternativa, saremmo felici di incorniciarla per te!
Gift message & custom finish
If you want to add a gift message, or a finish (jigsaw, aluminium board, etc.) that is not available here, please request it in the "order note" when you check out.
Every order is custom made, so if you need the size adjusted slightly, or printed on an unusual material, just let us know. We've done thousands of custom orders over the years, so there's (almost) nothing we can't manage.
You can also contact us before you order, if you prefer!

Continua a leggereCIDNA Flèche d’Orient. Paris. Stamboul. In The Same Day by Edmond Maurus (1931) is a quintessential Art Deco travel poster celebrating the golden age of flight. Created to promote the Compagnie Internationale de Navigation Aérienne (CIDNA), a French‑Romanian airline founded in 1920, the artwork dramatizes the astonishing promise of same‑day travel between Paris and Istanbul. A sleek airliner rides a gleaming arrow through a deepening sky, capturing the optimism of interwar Europe and the thrill of a continent suddenly knit together by speed, style, and technological progress.
This listing offers a museum‑quality fine art print of the original poster, produced on your choice of acid‑free archival paper or luxurious artist’s cotton canvas. Available in a range of sizes, each piece is printed with richly saturated, fade‑resistant inks. The Unique Maps Co. can frame your print to order and offers personalization options—such as custom captions, dedication lines, or date marks—to create a one‑of‑a‑kind heirloom that suits your space.
About the artist: Edmond Maurus was a French illustrator and poster designer active during the interwar years, when modern aviation and Art Deco matured side by side. His work blends clarity with drama—streamlined silhouettes, decisive geometry, and elegant typography—making his travel images both persuasive advertisements and enduring works of graphic art. Maurus’s posters stand as touchstones of the era when flight transformed from daring novelty into glamorous routine.
About the subject: CIDNA’s “Flèche d’Orient” (Arrow of the Orient) promoted a remarkable service linking Paris and “Stamboul” (the period spelling of Istanbul) with swift connections across Eastern Europe. At a time when trains and steamships still dominated long‑distance travel, CIDNA promised passengers, freight, and post would cross borders in a single day—an achievement that signaled a new rhythm for business and leisure. Although CIDNA merged into the newly formed Air France in 1933, its pioneering role in European air routes remains an important chapter in aviation history. This poster is known in at least two variants, reflecting the company’s evolving promotional strategies for different markets.
About the design: The composition is pure Art Deco—crisp angles, a metallic silver arrow, and a stylized aircraft that reads as a poised Fokker F.VII‑type airliner sweeping forward. A blue gradient washes from midnight to pale sky, while sharp white accents and deep navy forms heighten contrast and speed. Radiating lines and generous negative space focus the eye on the plane’s trajectory, and the refined, legible lettering anchors the scene with promise and authority. The result is an image that feels both historic and strikingly contemporary—a statement piece for anyone drawn to design, aviation, or European travel lore.
This fine art print makes a standout gift for aviation enthusiasts, frequent flyers, and lovers of European history and design—perfect for birthdays, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas, a new home or office, or to celebrate someone’s journey to Paris, Istanbul, or the cities in between.
If you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind – a different size, a different colour, a special frame – then please contact me. I usually respond within a few minutes.
You can see an example of my fine art personalisation service in the fifth image. Zoom in and take a look. My personalised artwork is always very well received. Take a look at more examples of personalisation.
You can also choose to age your art print to make it look older. This is popular amongst my customers who want their artwork to look like an older, antique print. You can see an example of ageing in the sixth product image, or go ahead and check out lots of examples of other aged artwork.
This artwork is taller than most, which would make it a perfect statement piece in a panelled room, on a gallery wall, or perhaps alongside another tall piece of art or furniture.
I can print and frame this beautiful piece of art at sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). If you are looking for a size or framing option that isn't available online, please get in touch.
This artwork is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.
Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Se non sei soddisfatto del tuo ordine per qualsiasi motivo, contattami per un rimborso senza problemi. Si prega di consultare la nostra politica di reso e rimborso per ulteriori informazioni.
