1862 Johnson Vicinity of Richmond (Virginia)
This superb production of the original antique steel plate engraved map of “Vicinity of Richmond and Peninsular Campaign in Virginia” was published by Johnson and Ward of New York in 1862, in Johnson’s NEW ILLUSTRATED FAMILY ATLAS. Compiled, drawn and engraved under the supervision of J. H. Colton and A. J. Johnson from War Department data, this Civil War era map includes the fortifications, military posts, cities, and towns of the coastal region near the York and James Rivers as they existed in 1862. This historically important area was the scene of major Civil War and Revolutionary War battles. The first successful English settlements in the New World were located along these rivers.

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.
