I doubt there'll be much interest here but more to preserve the link so I can perhaps buy one.  Link to seller.

Not the correct link but they have this map on the site Chet gave. This one is expensive.

I'm a huge map guy! I forget the name but while I was wandering around Pike's Place Market there is a a nice map store that sells tons of prints including this one and others like wood carvings of  local areas. Solid place to check out if your into maps or geography.

one of my favorite all time things is visiting the Vatican museums and going thru the Gallery of Maps.  To see painted maps from the 1500s on is absolutely amazing to me.
