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.

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.
