Does the map show real, legible place names?

No — place names are kept illegible or decorative by design, so the map reads as art rather than a navigational chart.

What size do these print at?

Each map is drawn at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.

Can I ask for a different subject, like a river delta?

Yes — the direction field takes that request and redraws it in the same three finishes.

Vintage map prints: coastline, city plan and mountains

Vintage map prints — a rugged coastline with hatched shallows, depth soundings, a scattering of small islands and a compass rose, a fine copperplate engraving, thin uniform hatched line work with dense cross-hatching for depth

The old chart as wall art: a coastline with hatched shallows and a compass rose, a city plan in fine engraved streets, a mountain region with hachured relief. These nine cross those three subjects with a classic engraved-sepia finish, a technical blueprint style and a clean black-ink treatment — the study-wall map, no legible place names, a cartouche left decorative.

About toile

This page is a showcase: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each one shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Toile has no generation wired to this page yet — nothing here is made to order, and there is no account, no upload, nothing to buy. What you see is what exists. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
