1736 Seutter World
This superb reproduction of the original antique hand colored copperplate engraved map of “Diversi Globi Terr-Aquei..”, was first published by Mattheus Seutter in 1736. This fascinating world map was published in the 1736 edition of ATLAS NOVUS by cartographer and publisher Mattheus Seutter of Vienna. The dramatic double hemispheres showing the lands and oceans of the world are surrounded by 12 smaller globes of other views and scientific explanation. The five views of North America represent California as an island and the Pacific is unexplored except for the tracks of Juan Gaetano [1542]–who reputedly visited Hawaii and Tasman [1642]. The Seutter family was one of the most important and prolific German map publishers of the 18th century.

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.
