Searching for Original Sources of Fantasy Maps

[DracoAdamantus]

Hello! So some time ago, I had saved an Etsy store that sold digital prints of fantasy world maps. That store disappeared some time ago, and having found a few of their designs on here I believe that they were selling other people's work. However I loved the maps I saw there, and had wanted to buy them to print for my own map wall. It's a good thing I didn't patronize someone that was selling stolen art, but I have not been able to find the original source for most of these maps anywhere. I still have some lo-res thumbnails, but none of them are print quality.

So I ask my fellow members of the Cartographers Guild, do you recognize any of the following maps, and if so who is the original artist that I could contact about getting a copy, or where could I find prints of it to purchase or a high-res version of the image to print for myself?

Thank you in advance!

Hmm. Several of the WOT maps look to be by Ellisa Mitchell, who was one of the original cartographers for the series.

I'm pretty sure the Grishaverse map is just the one from the books (I believe the artist is called Keith Thompson), and the Oz map looks to be the official tie-in for the Oz The Great and Powerful film. Could be the Etsy store was just selling illegal copies of official licenced merch?

I didn't think so, because there are other shops selling these maps as physical scrolls that have been up for just as long or longer. And there are a few I didn't include here because I actually found their works on the guild already.

Such as this map of The Shire, by Maxime Plasse.

I want to find the original sources of those LOTR maps the most, and I can't find those anywhere outside of broken links to that now gone store.

I'm pretty sure most of them are from Daniel Reeve. For those not appearing on his website, the calligraphy is pretty close (and if you want the good stuff it is here).

Okay, I've actually managed to find out the artist of all of the LOTR maps. Rohan, Gondor, and Mordor are all by Giuseppe De Iure. All the other LOTRs are by Daniel Reeve. Now it's a matter of finding prints/files that arent being sold by a bot shop.
