1833 Carey & Hart Eagle Map of US

         This superb reproduction of the original antique hand colored copperplate engraved “The Eagle Map of the United States” was published by Carey and Hart circa 1833 for the Rudiments of National Knowledge. This remarkable map represents America as an eagle while showing the states in hand outline color with the eagle transparently overlaid. The eagle’s head is New England, its neckline follows Lakes Ontario and Erie, and the wing outlines Lakes Huron and Superior. Louisiana is already being divided into several US states, with Louisiana and Missouri separated from French territory. The tail feathers are shaped to follow a border no longer in existence by 1848. The western borders of Texas are shown as well as the border of Mexico. The wings spread west to the Missouri Territory and disappear near the disputed border of Great Britain.

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.
