“Each of these stunning prints have been hand letterpressed by Doug, directly onto old maps of the UK! The diversity of these maps and the printing method combined means that each print is truly unique.”

And all the names of the tribes, the
nomads of faith who walked in the monotone of the desert and saw
brightness and faith and colour. The way a stone or found metal box or
bone can become loved and turn eternal in a prayer. Such glory of this
country she enters now and becomes part of. We die containing a
richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have
plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have
climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves. I wish
for all this to be marked on my body when I am dead. I believe in such
cartography-to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a
map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal
histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste
or experience. All I desired was to walk upon such an earth that had no
maps.”
-Michael Ondaatje
