1796 La Perouse San Diego
This superb reproduction of the original copperplate engraving of “Plan of the Port of San Diego in California” was first published in ATLAS DU VOYAGE DE LA PEROUSE in Paris circa 1797. The Comte de la Perouse, explorer, navigator and hydrographer, was sent by Louis XVI on an expedition to rival that of the English Capt. James Cook. This early chart of the harbor of San Diego shows compass headings, soundings, anchorages and key locations of note in the bay. The lower chart is “Plan of the Port and Department of S. Blas” located on the west Mexican coast at latitude 21.30 (latitudinally the same as the Hawaiian Islands). This reproduction is made from the English edition published circa 1778.

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.
