1736 Moll South Africa

         This superb reproduction of the original antique hand colored copperplate engraving of “The South Part of Africa and the Island Madagascar” was originally published by Herman Moll circa 1736. Herman Moll was an engraver, geographer and bookseller of Dutch origin, who settled in England in 1678, where he engraved fine maps for Moses Pitt, Greenville Collins, John Adair and Seller & Price. He was a parishioner of Sr. Clement Danes and there he died in 1732, leaving as his heir his only daughter Henderina Amelia. A notable feature of his maps is the long “legend” he was apt to insert in blank spaces.

What is a Mirrored Print & Gallery Wrap?

Canvas for Gallery Wrap

Take a good look at your print. The edges are mirrored, so that, the complete image is shown on the face of the frame once it is wrapped. In other words, You don’t lose any of the artwork. Our 2½” mirrored borders, allow your finished product to have a variety of thickness up to 2” deep. Therefore, make sure you choose an experienced framer who can make the frame to the exact specs of your custom print.

Hand-made Rattan Frames

Though the design has changed over the years, we commission these Rattan frames through a small family owned company in The Philippines. Your frame is the result of trial and error of the last 20 years! Rattan is a vine-like Palm that requires forest cover in order to thrive. Rattan grows throughout the jungle for over a quarter of a mile. Its trunk can span a diameter of over two inches down to the thickness of a human hair. The harvester’s collection process is performed by hand by a simple machete. Ultimately, the rattan vine cannot survive without the forest. Rattan quickly regenerates. As a result, this method of harvesting protects the destruction of the forest.
