1812 Arrowsmith Massachusetts

         This wonderful reproduction of the original antique engraved map of “Massachusetts” was originally published by John Arrowsmith, London circa 1812. The Arrowsmith family’s firm was the largest and best known publisher of the day. This map must be considered as exceptionally accurate for the period. The various towns, lakes, rivers, mountainous regions and off-shore islands are rendered in great detail. Of note are the horizontally engraved lines representing the near shore ocean depths, a cartographic stylistic feature of the early to mid nineteenth 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.
