Vintage Cartography
Before satellite imagery, cartographers worked by hand — recording depth soundings with hatch marks, naming coves by their local pronunciations, speculating about coastlines beyond the known horizon. The resulting charts are documents of measurement and imagination in equal parts. Six panels gives this style room to breathe: a continuous coastline that rewards slow reading.
Hex — 6 panels — from $270. No subscription required.
Starting prompts
Each prompt is a direction, not a specification. Adapt the language, swap subjects, or use one verbatim — the Studio accepts all three approaches.
“Six panels forming a continuous hand-drawn coastal map — depth soundings, hatched cliffs, named coves. Aged sepia and bistre ink on cream paper. 18th-century survey style.”
“A hex wall of antique road map panels — county boundaries, hand-lettered town names, stippled hills, coaching roads. Warm sepia on pale cream. Ordnance Survey aesthetic, 1860s.”
“Six panels of river system cartography — tributaries, ford marks, water mills, depth notations. Aged vellum ground, bistre ink, occasional watercolour wash on water bodies.”

How many puzzle panels does a Vintage Cartography wall use?

What does a Vintage Cartography gallery wall cost?
The standard Vintage Cartography example uses 6 panels, which corresponds to the hex tier at $270. All panels are priced at $45 each regardless of tier. Optional slipcases are +$15 per panel and a mounting strip is +$40.
Can I modify the example prompt or provide my own?
Yes. The prompts shown here are starting points. The Studio accepts any text input — you can adapt the language, swap subjects, or describe something entirely different. The AI interprets whatever you provide.
Are the panels one image cut into pieces?
No. Each panel is a complete, self-contained 500-piece puzzle with its own image. The AI generates all panels from a single master prompt, ensuring a consistent palette, shared visual motifs, and complementary compositions designed to live together on a wall.
