Charlie Calkins and I founded Peninsula Partners Publishing little more than one year ago. We were able to complete two map reprints our first year. In 2008 we released the 1878 Door County sheet, and the 1914 plat for the Town of Gibraltar.
Thus far in 2009, we have released an 1881 plan of the City of Milwaukee, and a map of Chamber’s Island that was originally published as part of a sales prospectus for lots in a proposed development of the entire island that failed. We have just received the proofs for our fifth project, an 1878 Brown County sheet. The 1878 Brown County map shows the lower portion of the bay of Green Bay, the upper Fox River, the city of Green Bay and numerous other towns and post offices.
The printer we have been working with most recently has been doing a great job of keeping our projects moving along, so we expect to release this next sheet very soon.
All of our map reproductions are lithographically printed on an 80lb. semi-matte stock, the same sort of stock that is used for fine art prints.
