1779 Bowen North America
This superb reproduction of the original antique hand colored copperplate engraved “A New & Accurate Map of North America” was published by Thomas Bowen circa 1779 for A New and Complete System of Geography by Charles Middleton, London. Bowen was the son of famed map maker Emanuel Bowen (1694-1767), engraver to George II and Louis XV. This detailed projection of North America was published during Captain James Cook’s 3rd Voyage of Discovery. Borrowing from various existing charts, Bowen shows detailed configurations of the eastern territories of the newly formed United States. The uncharted Northwestern coast would be surveyed during Captain Cook’s 3rd voyage (1776-79).

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.
