1794 Laurie & Whittle Middle Dominions USA

         This finely detailed reproduction map of the original antique hand colored copperplate engraved map “A New and General Map of The Middle Dominions of the U.S.” was published by Laurie & Whittle circa 1794. This beautiful chart  spanning from Kentucky to Vermont is an early historically important map published only eleven years after hostilities ended between the American colonies and England, January 20, 1783. The United States territory is designated by original green hand coloring. It is also interesting to note that this important map is embellished with a Sketch of the Upper Parts to shew (show)the Remainder of the Lakes.

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.
