1841 Black (Hughes) Ancient World (Alps to Egypt)

         This superior reproduction of the historically important antique steel plate engraved “Map of the Principal Countries in the Ancient World” was originally published by W. Hughes circa 1841. This map depicts part of the empire of Alexander the Great and covers from modern day Italy south as far as Egypt and from Corsica to Caspian Sea. An inset map in the lower left quadrant depicts the Roman empire in its greatest extent and another map in the lower right quadrant features the Persian empire in its greatest extent, divided into its Satrapies.

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.
