1848 Fremont Oregon And Upper California

         This superb reproduction of the original antique hand colored engraved map of “Oregon and Upper California” chronicles John Charles Fremont’s expeditions from 1842-46 and was published by order of the United States Senate in 1848.The map covers an area from Mt. Shasta in the north to San Diego in the south and from the Great Salt Lake to the Pacific Ocean. Fremont’s third expedition was dispatched ostensibly because of the number of settlers migrating west during the period, and secretly for the purpose of assisting, in case of war with Mexico, in gaining possession of California. By January of 1847 he, together with Commodore Robert Stockton, had completed the conquest of California.

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.
