The Cartography of Yesteryear

The HPLHS is now offering its great vintage maps a la carte. These maps have been specifically made with Lovecraft fans in mind and are perfect handouts for Call of Cthulhu® or other role playing games. But they're also handsome works of art, suitable for framing. Can't decide? Order our Ten Pack and save a few bucks in the process.

A welcome expansion

Making the individual maps from the separate HPLHS collection of Game Prop Maps available this way, is a sensible move for people wishing to avoid duplication of maps they may have already from the physical props that come with the DART radio productions. The HPLHS have gone further here though, by adding fresh maps, still in the same high-quality, period-reproduction style. Having the map collection set already, it was the new maps only that I opted for here - those of San Francisco’s Gray Line Motor Tours, the two Miskatonic Institute for Geographical Observation’s charts of Unexplored Places of the World, and the Miskatonic University’s expedition seeking the “Lost World” in Venezuela, plus the stunningly huge map of Providence, R.I., from 1921. These are all as excellent as the others, but as someone who attempted to map Lovecraft’s Providence in detail a few years ago, using digital period maps of the city available online, including some quite similar to this Providence one, it was an especial joy to finally hold a paper copy in-hand. Cartographic fans should need no prompting, and those involved with role-playing games will find them equally invaluable as props. Highly recommended!

Great Maps

As someone who has long loved maps in general, I was blown away by the appearance and quality of these maps. I don't even have an immediate need for them; I just wanted some for my collection. My only regret is that I purchased them separately, rather than as a set, but I may have to rectify that with my next order. Definitely worth it!
