Blue Monocle is a specialty print shop with a focus on making fine print reproductions of antique maps, printed on 100% cotton, acid-free fine art paper with archival pigment inks. I'm dedicated to the art of printmaking, and every item I print is made of only the highest quality materials.

This shop is a happy combination of three of my passions: maps, history, and prints on paper. I love old maps because they are truly windows onto history, showing paths of exploration, scientific discovery, developing and changing societies, and more. They also connect us to the places that are most important to us: our towns, our ancestry, and our common heritage. Plus, many of them are beautiful works of art in their own right.

I started Blue Monocle in 2008 as a way to explore history through antique maps, and with a desire to perfect the art of fine prints on paper. Over the years I've had the privilege to make prints for numerous museums, universities, and television and movie productions, and my prints have been featured in InStyle Magazine and Rocky Mountain Bride, and displayed on the set of The Martha Stewart Show.

All of the images I print have been lovingly restored, and I make all of the prints on a large-format digital fine art printer (a process sometimes called "giclee") using archival pigment inks and 100% cotton matte fine art papers. I'm always on the lookout for beautiful and interesting old maps, and I regularly add new items to the collection. I'm also happy to customize any of the prints in any way, just drop me a line to describe what you'd like.

If you have any questions or comments about my products, please let me know, I'd love to hear from you!
