1861 Johnson Washington and Oregon

1861 Johnson Washington and Oregon

         This superb reproduction of the the original antique engraved map of “Washington and Oregon” was published by Johnson and Ward of New York circa 1862 for Johnson’s NEW ILLUSTRATED FAMILY ATLAS. The configuration of boundaries on this map lasted from 1853 when Washington territory was carved out of Oregon, until 1863 when the Idaho territory was created. On this map, the settled and surveyed coastal areas contrast with the inland regions identified by tribal control. The distinctive coloring combines block printing and hand stencil. In 1848, the Oregon Territory was created which then included the state of Washington. Washington separated from Oregon in 1853. The eastern portion of Washington shown here, is today known as Idaho. The Idaho Territory was created two years prior to this map’s publication in 1863.

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.
