Iconic Isles
When you think of London, what images immediately spring to ming? What about Cardiff? Bristol? Chichester? Nickprints were probably asking themselves the same questions when they created their Iconic Isles map.
Look at that details! There are over 1000 symbols on that map. You'd learn loads just from looking at it. I hope it comes with a key.
There's Hitchcock! And Mary Poppins! And Shakespeare up in the corner.
The detail is lovely, but it's such a striking print from a distance as well. It's £50 unframed from Culture Label where you can see more from Nickprints while you're browsing.

Wow, this is just incredible. I love a good old map, but they're everywhere at the moment and it feels a bit overdone. This is an amazing alternative though. I could spend hours working out all those little symbols. Oh, and I've just seen a New York version online - amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing - I can't believe how detailed it is! :)
ReplyDeleteI never get bored of looking at maps.
