This is an amazing and exceptional antique reproduction of a classroom wall map that was common in the early 1900s. Originally printed at the beginning of the 19th century, educational wall charts and maps were designed for classroom use. They were first made in small format and depicted simple scenes and scientific items that were used for primary school instruction. Around 1880 wall charts/maps were produced and sold in larger quantities not only for primary schools but also for higher education institutions. With the introduction of lithography in the late 1700's, it became possible to produce larger color prints at a affordable price.

Larger wall charts and maps images could be viewed from almost every corner of the classroom and became popular with instructors. With the advent of our modern technology in the late 1960's, most of the charts and maps were replaced. The majority of these charts were destroyed and the few originals that have survived have become almost prohibitive to purchase.

The rolled canvas is the map printed on archival canvas....no wooden hanger.

ABOUT THIS MAP:
-It comes from one of the most important atlases of the American Revolutionary War period. It is a composite map made up of 4 of the fold out maps in the Atlas(hence the lines and color variations) There were 22 maps printed on 29 sheets total. The majority of the important large scale maps of the colonies are here, appearing together for the first time after having been issued as separates by Jefferys in the 1750's and 60's. This copy is the 1st 1776 version.

-The official title was :An Accurate Map Of North And South Carolina With Their Indian Frontiers, Shewing in a distinct manner all the Mountains, Rivers, Swamps, Marshes, Bays, Creeks, Harbours, Sandbanks and Soundings on the Coasts; with The Roads and Indian Paths; as well as The Boundary or Provincial Lines, The Several Townships and other divisions of the Land In Both The Provinces; the whole From Actual Surveys By Henry Mouzon And Others.

**We use vintage and period style hardware that was created from the original casts of the actual hardware. We custom import these hard to find items into the U.S. from a small specialty manufacture from Dongshancun. It is worth the expense and time to deals use this handmade hardware.

**Our wood is milled to the same specifications as the original wall hangings from the 1900s. We also try to use reclaimed oak and pine when possible on our products, though some current milled lumber must be used at times. The wood is hand rubbed with period stains and in the wood, dents and dings are left in place as well as some of the roughness of the wood. The natural grain is allowed to show through the stains and adds to the aged look. It is our goal to create an aged map and not a "new,shiny, and perfect" wall hanging. The look like they have been around for years.

**We also print on archival Cotton Canvas only now as that produces the best details and maintains the vintage aspect of the maps. Our cotton is archival quality and printed with 8-12 color Canon archival inks. These prints are AMAZING!!

***EACH print includes a vintage Cast Iron hanging ring that can be mounted into any wall as well as the cotton hanging cord. It makes the hanging of these maps easy and period appropriate.
