This series of maps were made in 1837,
10 years before the disaster of the "Great Famine" era around
1847.
This is a particularly significant time in Ireland's history at the period of the historically highest population and immediately prior to the great exodus of Ireland's population - in particular to the United States.
The original map image size is approx. 200 x 250mm.

Buy Reproduction Copies of These Fine Old Maps
The
maps on this site are reproductions taken from high resolution digital
scans of the originals. They are available for purchase as
decorative prints for mounting and display or may be useful in genealogy.
The maps are clear and colours bright. There is some staining and antique
discolouration as would be expected of such old documents, this is faithfully
reproduced and adds to the atmosphere of the reproduction prints.
The printed detail is far greater than reproduced on this web site, to produce a more accurate scan would result in huge file sizes.
Please note maps are supplied as the print only and are UN-mounted and UN-framed, the example to the right is shown for illustration only with a single mounting board and dark oak frame. Dark green mounting board is recommended as it suits the colours well and is authentic of the period.
Reproduction prints are on heavyweight textured *192g/sqm paper. Archival quality paper and inks have been used, the combination of which gives an estimated lifespan of at least 75 years.
