1943 USCS Cape Cod, George’s Bank & Nantucket Shoals

         This superior reproduction of the original lithographic charting of the coastal lands, islands and waters of eastern Massachusetts was originally published for the United States Coastal and Geodetic Survey in 1943. This particular chart represents the best data available on sensitive U.S. coastal information during WWII, hence this chart’s ‘Restricted’ status. The geology of coastal Massachusetts and its off shore islands and underwater shoals consist largely of sand and gravel deposits left by the retreating glaciers at the last warming epoch. Much of the underwater area represented by this chart was dry land before the ocean levels rose from the glacial meltwater some 12,000 years ago.

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.
