About The Melbourne Map

The Melbourne Map is an iconic illustration of this magnificent city. Intricately researched and hand-drawn over three years the artwork is a popular addition to the walls of Melbournians and Melbourne lovers. Magnificent limited editions and art prints are now in homes, offices and schools here and abroad. The award-winning map is now Australia's favourite 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle and together with a brilliantly designed "Can You Find?" Calendar (with 400 things to find!) they’ve become popular corporate and staff gifts https://www.themelbournemap.com.au/maps/ . Our creative team of researchers and artists are continuing with map-making adventures, and have recently completed The Bellarine Map with others now on the drawing board. Melinda Clarke (founder) has loved illustrated maps since first collecting them while travelling through Europe and the USA in the mid-'80s. Discovering that Melbourne hadn’t been drawn in detail since 1880 https://www.themelbournemap.com.au/product/melbourne-1880-samuel-calvert-etching/, led her to create the first iconic Melbourne Map https://www.themelbournemap.com.au/product/1991-colour-poster-melbourne-map/ in 1990. A decision to honour Melbourne with another map came in 2017, and Lewis Brownlie (chief illustrator) spent 2.5 years at the easel documenting every little detail of Melbourne's architecture, parklands, streetscapes and the quirky things discovered during our research. Deborah Young (artist of the 1990 map) contributed her character illustrations, and in late 2018 we published The Melbourne Map black & white edition. https://www.themelbournemap.com.au/product/black-white-map/ Following this Sean Rodwell (digital colourist) wove his magic on the iMac and brought The Melbourne Map colour version https://www.themelbournemap.com.au/product/colour-map/ to life.
