An aged cartographic composition layers historical map details in teal blue and oxidized copper tones, with overlapping geographical notations and decorative elements suggesting centuries of exploration and discovery. The weathered, textured surface evokes an artifact discovered in an explorer's archive, with patina and wear revealing the passage of time across continents and seas. At home in a study, library, or anywhere curiosity about history and travel inspires. Printed to order directly onto lightweight aluminum with a high-gloss finish that makes color and detail pop and resists fading over time. A wood backing floats it about three-quarters of an inch off the wall and holds the wire or sawtooth hanger. Available from mini to large, it is original art with a modern, durable edge, not a quick print off a shelf.
