Travel journal in glorious historic detail made from a continuous section of a genuine Bartholomew's vintage map of the north part of Kent.
It features: The River Medway, Rochester, Chatham, Sheerness, Sittingbourne, Faversham, Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate etc.... Memories of holidays perhaps?
As you would imagine, there are some small signs of wear - after all, the map has been in use for over 50 years! But the quality of the colours is just lovely and it is a real piece of nostalgia that you could study for hours!
The perfect present for anyone who loves maps or travel, and a great gift for all ages: gap year student to retirement!
These notebooks also make lovely presents for people who have their own special places, such as where they were born; where they met their partner or got married; a favourite holiday place and so on.
All of these Bartholomews maps are from the 1940s,1950s and early 1960s. Towns were smaller and there are no motorways!
There are over 50 different maps in this Bartholomews series of UK maps and each one makes 3 journals so there are a lot more to choose from. So please have a browse at the others in my store but if you don't see what you want, please ask! I do keep a range of maps and can source more.
★ SPECIFICATION
The notebook is made to my unique concertina design and measures about 7.5" by 4" (19cm by 11cm).
There are 60 pages of paper stitched into the faux dori style book: a section of 20 pages of plain paper, a section of 20 pages of ruled paper and 20 pages of squared paper. So the notebook could be used as a journal or a sketchbook too.
★ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- The paper is of good quality and the map is backed with linen, giving it great durability.
- You can take out and replenish the writing/drawing paper when you have used it all, by stitching it in place using a normal sewing machine
- Alternatively you can replace the paper by folding the new sheets and using an elastic or rubber band to secure them in the book.
- All my notebooks in this section have been upcycled from pre used and discarded maps and atlases.
- They make really unusual and eco-friendly presents that will suprise and delight!
- As this is a handmade item repurposed from a used map it may show small signs of age but this just adds to the charm.
★ GIFT WRAPPING
- All my items are gift wrapped FREE in tissue paper (colours vary) and tied with a contrasting raffia ribbon
- If you have purchased the additional gift wrap option, I will add a hand cut tag which will reflect the contents of your purchase. The photos show some examples.
- The tag (circle or rectangular) will be blank on the back unless you have asked me to handwrite a message for you.
★ PROCESSING AND SHIPPING TIMES
