This 1949 topographical map of the north-east Coromandel and the Mercury Islands is a beautiful snapshot of the peninsula before the crowds arrived.

Every bay, headland and settlement is mapped in precise detail — Otama, Whangapoua and the Mercury Islands sitting quietly offshore, known only to those lucky enough to have found them. This is the Coromandel before the sealed roads and the housing boom.

This map would look superb in your bach or lounge. Its warm vintage tones would make a classic addition to any home that loves this corner of New Zealand.

It would make a wonderful gift for anyone with roots in Otama or Whangapoua, for Mercury Islands regulars, or for anyone who grew up travelling over the Blackjack Road to get their toes in the Coromandel sand as a kid.

This map comes in an 8 x 10 aspect and we offer two different finishing options. Please choose from the following selection to make it your own.

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.

ACM Wall Art

Our ACM Wall Art prints are sleek and non-reflective. 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.
