William Heather (1764-1812) was a British engraver and publisher specializing in nautical charts, active between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He began his activity in 1793 and distinguished himself by creating detailed and precise maritime charts, fundamental for navigation at the time. Heather also ran a shop that sold charts along with nautical and mathematical instruments, catering to sailors, captains, and maritime professionals.

His antique map of Oristano depicts the coastal geography and ports of the Oristano area, in Sardinia, with particular attention to details useful for navigation. Heather's nautical charts are highly valued today for their historical importance, the artistic quality of their engravings, and their technical accuracy, providing a valuable insight into marine cartographic techniques of the early 19th century.

Feel history at your fingertips

Our reproductions are faithful to the original and printed on fine Amalfi paper.

It is a paper made exclusively from cotton fibers, thick and naturally porous, yet soft to the touch, with characteristic deckled edges that bear witness to its artisanal craftsmanship.

It is still made today according to ancient medieval techniques, in the workshops of Amalfi.
