Greater Sydney Wall Map by Robinson published 1952

The Greater Sydney map published in 1952 is a striking antique coloured road map covering a 75-kilometre radius of Sydney. The mapping shows highways, main through roads, other roads and railways.

The map covers from Gosford down to Stanwell Park and as far west as Emu Plains. This vintage map provides a fascinating insight into the urbanisation of Sydney by the 1950s. This map is a H.E.C. Robinson publication, Australia's first map maker.

The map can come either printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate. 

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks - making the map highly durable and fade resistant. The exceptional clarity of printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is by having wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom with a hanging cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook on the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.

Note: Please allow ten working days for delivery of hang-railed maps as they need to be attached by our framer.
