1901 McNally Philippines
This superb reproduction of the original lithographic map of the “Philippines” was originally published in 1901 by Rand, McNally & Co. The original color was produced by the use of separate wax engraved plates. This map shows the political boundaries, islands, cities, transportation routes and bodies of water as they were known to exist at the turn of the 20th century. Of special interest is the inset of Vicinity of Manila. Rand, McNally & Company is considered one of the most successful map publishing companies, having published continuously from 1862 to the present day.

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.
