1755 North America Map

 
This is a museum quality reproduction of North America 1755 map.
Giclee printed on two fabric Scrolls With french finished cherry wood slats on top and bottom. Top slats slide together with mounting hardware to hang wrinkle free.

Originally published in eight sections and called the Mitchell Map, this interesting early map of the American colonies is recognized by cognoscenti as the most important map of America ever published. At the time boundaries were in hot dispute between England and France resulting in two versions of the map, one French, one English, with some essential differences. But the buffalo herds, Native American tribes and other highly interesting details were the same in both. Originals of this map are very rare and sell in excess of $30,000. Get close and check out the many incredible details. Travel back to a time when North America was gradually becoming colonized.

This image is transferred onto the canvas using the giclee printing method.
(Giclee (pronounced Gee’clay) is a French term)
With this method no screen or other mechanical devices are used and therefore there is no visible dot screen pattern. The image has all the tonalities and hues of the original work.
Giclee is UV resistant. Colors won't fade.

Measures: 1.6 x 78.7 x 55.9''
