1862 Johnson California, New Mexico, Utah
This superb reproduction of the original antique steel plate engraved map of “California, Territories of New Mexico and Utah” was published by Johnson and Ward of New York in 1862 as part of JOHNSON’S NEW ILLUSTRATED FAMILY ATLAS. The color was produced using a combination of block and hand stencil. This is one of the most fascinating maps of the period as it shows profound territorial boundary changes and includes the rare spelling of the Arizona territory as “Arrizona”. It includes explorers routes, the major routes of commerce, forts, Indian tribes, proposed railroad routes, The Pony Express Route and important dates in the evolution of the US-Mexico Boundary.

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.
