2D PRINT WITH 3D EFFECT: This is a flat paper print, not a raised or physical 3D map. Using advanced shading techniques, we create the illusion of sculpted terrain on two-dimensional poster. The result is visually striking but completely smooth to the touch and easy to frame MAPS OF THE WORLD: Discover the topographic and historical charm of Japan with this meticulously restored 1922 Japan map, originally commissioned by C. Picquet. Part of our Vintage Series, this 2D print showcases the country's intricate topography and landmarks in exquisite detail, making it a unique and captivating piece of both history and art. DIGITAL SHADOWING FOR ARTISTIC EFFECT: After restoration, our designers apply shadows across the vintage map to simulate natural light and elevation, creating a 3D-like illusion. Because this is designed as wall art, not a reference map, some text labels may be partially obscured or distorted up close—prioritizing visual depth over functional detail WALL-MOUNTED MEMORIES: More than a map, Restoration Cartographic posters tell a visual story—of home, travel, or your favorite place on earth.
