1777 Hogg Pitcairn’s Island

1777 Hogg Pitcairn’s Island 

         This superb reproduction of the original copperplate engraved chart of “A Chart and Views of Pitcairn’s Island” was published by Alexander Hogg circa 1786. This island gained notoriety as the final refuge of the H.M.S. Bounty mutineers and their descendants still populate the island today. The burned wreckage of the Bounty was recently discovered off the coast of Pitcairn by members of the National Geographic Society. This first charting of Pitcairn (originally published in 1773) was originally executed by Captain Carteret. It shows the inaccurate longitude which helped the H.M.S. Bounty mutineers evade discovery by the British Navy.

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.
