Perhaps the more observant will remember this map of the soil of Cyprus.

We decided to rework it by removing the bathymetric information. This version has reduced saturation and allows for good readability of the labels.

Time for a revamp of a too saturated vintage map. We decided to improve the readibility of the map, so this is a new, balanced USA map of 1874.

New York City.

We realized this custom print last year, but never published it.

The original map was a 50's map made by USGS.

As announced, a new map has been added to the European collection.

We had started this paper years ago, but it had never been finalized. Since we didn't even have a dedicated map of Switzerland yet, we thought it was appropriate to remediate!

This is a geotectonic map of Switzerland that among the authors also has Imhof. It was realized in 1972 but published in 1978 inside the Atlas of Switzerland.

You can find the original sheet in the David Rumsey Map Collection.

This map is not a revamped map, just a little improved with soft color correction.

We made this map with great effort, both because the map we started from was very beautiful and because of what the Mediterranean represents to us.

So let's reintroduce the Mediterranean Sea map.

A new map from the past.

This was supposed to be part of a great new series on North America, but we are not currently free enough to plan a thematic collection, so we hope you will still enjoy the end result and digital restoration of this 1932 Geological map of West Virginia.

Italian Touring Club map: Civitavecchia. This map was realized by the geographic institute De Agostini and dates back to 1946-50. This map as a whole is marvellous for the simple clarity of the drawing, which highlights the volcanic conformations of the main lakes in Lazio.
