1570 Ortelius Palestine

         This superior reproduction of the historically important original antique hand colored copperplate engraved map of “Palestinae sive totivs Terrae Promissionis nova descriptio avctore Tilmanno Stella Sigens” was published by Abraham Ortelius circa 1570. This map extends from Beirut to Egypt and the Nile Delta and shows the course of the Exodus of the Israelites leaving Egypt. It includes two exquisite decorative cartouches, numerous sea vessels and the ubiquitous 16th century representation of sea monsters.

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.
