1736 Seutter Louisiana

         This superb reproduction of an original map entitled, “…Louisiane…in Septemtrionali America…Mississippi vel St. Louis…”, was first published by Mattheus Seutter in 1736. This dramatic and highly informative world map was published in the 1736 ATLAS NOVUS edition, by cartographer and publisher Mattheus Seutter of Vienna. The French had superceded the Spanish in their claim to Florida, but would vacate that claim to the United States. The beginnings of what would eventually become the territory purchased from France, known as the Louisiana Territory, is delineated by this map. 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.
