‘Black Maps’ are historic survey maps of the Canterbury Land District created between 1848 and the 1870s.

These classic ‘Black Maps’ of ‘Plan of Christchurch, the Capital of the Settlement of Canterbury, New Zealand’ from 1879 are the perfect way to add history to your home.

These maps would cause a sensation hanging in your office, or add vintage style to your living room. They would also make a cherished gift for anyone with a connection to Canterbury.

This map comes in a 10 x 9 aspect and we offer two different finishing options. Please choose from the following selection.

Acrylic Print

Perfect for any room where gallery quality is optimal, our Acrylic Prints are also ideal for bathrooms and wet areas.

Your map will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional substrate using archival inks, and then mounted in-house on crystal clear acrylic for a back-lit appearance and unrivaled vibrancy.

Finally, it will be seamed with 4mm ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) for a modern frameless finish. A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.

Your photograph will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional Paper using archival inks and then mounted in-house on 4mm ACM. A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.
