1780 Covens Long Island (Connecticut)

         This superb reproduction of the original antique hand colored copperplate engraved map of “Connecticut” was published towards the end of Covens & Mortier’s publishing career (1720-88) in 1780.  This unusual map of Connecticut & Long Island, published in English from a prior map by Bernard Roman in 1777, is a highly detailed mapping of the newly founded United States. Bernard Romans was a British surveyor who eventually took the American side in the Revolution. Prior to the Revolution, he was active in surveying the Florida area, and also produced an unusual manuscript map of “The Colony of New York and its Surroundings.” Later he planned fortifications on the Hudson River, and made maps of the region around the Hudson Highlands.

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.
