1858 USGS Washington Territory

         This superb reproduction of the original antique lithograph of “Map of that Part of Washington Territory Lying West of The Rocky Mountains” was printed for the United States Senate 35th Congress, which accompanied the report of James Tilton, the Surveyor General in 1858. This map shows survey work in progress with a view to finding a route for the Northern Pacific Railway. Gold was discovered in eastern Washington in 1855. Beautifully hand colored, this historic facsimile map is one of the few of this era to show the area described in such detail.

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.
