Welcome to Encompass Geographic!
We’re thrilled to have you here at the very first Encompass Geographic (EG) Fieldbook post! Whether you’re a map enthusiast, a geography lover, or simply someone curious about the world, you’re in the right place. EG is all about exploring the beauty and diversity of our planet through maps.
What Is Encompass Geographic?
Encompass Geographic specializes in creating exceptional maps designed to inspire adventure and bring the world into your home. We breathe new life into old maps by modernizing and renovating them with digital elevation data, blending history with cutting-edge cartography. Each of our minimalist-style shaded relief maps are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, focusing on clean design and striking simplicity that draws attention to the natural beauty of the landscape. All our maps feature a striking 3D look while being printed as high-quality, 2D prints on luxurious Hahnemühle paper using premium giclée printing techniques.
Every map we create reflects our focus on quality and craftsmanship, capturing the detailed beauty of the world’s landscapes. We are continuously expanding our range by designing new maps to enhance our current collections and introducing fresh designs, ensuring there’s always something unique for explorers and collectors alike.
Who’s Behind Encompass Geographic?
EG was founded by Rhys, a geoscientist with a vision to share the art and science of cartography with the world. For Rhys, cartography is a creative escape from the day-to-day work of analysing geoscientific data.
EG began as a personal project and has now grown into a community of map enthusiasts, art collectors, and outdoor adventurers. Rhys strives to create maps that are both beautiful and informative, combining years of expertise with an eye for design.
