1798 Edwards & Robinson Vancouver Coast

1798 Edwards & Robinson Vancouver Coast

         This superb reproduction of the original antique antique copperplate engraved “A Chart Showing Part of the Coast of N. W. America with the tracks of His Majesty’s sloop Discovery” was published in the first English edition of George Vancouver’s Atlas “Voyage of Discovery of the North Pacific Ocean and Round the World” (with folio atlas of 16 charts), in 1798. This map is of the southern British Columbia coast, including the first charting of Vancouver Island. It includes the coast of Washington, and as well as insets of Port Discovery, Gray’s Harbour, and the Columbia River. The British Admiralty chose Capt. George Vancouver to survey the northwestern North American coast [1791-95], resulting in this historic charting.

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.
