Map Design and Paper

The map is an original creation by our design studio at Africa Map Art. Data for this map has been compiled from various up-to-date sources including from the OpenStreetMap contributors. The map is available in four styles and on the following two paper options and canvas: a high quality 210gsm heavyweight coated paper with a matte finish, which achieves excellent colour and resolution and is perfect for framing;  a 260gsm photo paper with a smooth satin finish;  and a 350gsm strengthened canvas.  All of the options are shipped in a cardboard roll for protection. The canvas is unstretched and unframed. We welcome personalisation and customisation requests, such as highlighting of specific buildings or features, adjusting the colour scheme, or the addition of text and images.  Please contact us for a quote.

Prince Albert's origins trace back to a loan farm called "Kweekvallei" (Valley of Cultivation) in 1762. The town itself was proclaimed in 1845 and named in honour of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert. Nestled at the foot of the Swartberg Pass, the town's history is characterized by a blend of agricultural prosperity and its role as a key gateway to the interior. Its heritage is preserved in its well-maintained Cape Dutch, Karoo, and Victorian architecture. Today, Prince Albert is celebrated for its thriving art scene, gourmet food, and as a starting point for exploring the spectacular Swartberg Pass.
