The map we offer is a compiled replica of old period maps. It is printed on thick hand made paper from a copperplate engraving cut by professional artists, hand colored, featuring two beautiful cartouches, Indian warriors, sailing ships and others, showing settlements, towns, forts, Indian tribes, rivers, mountains and other early place names.
Currently the map is part of the blockbuster "Jefferson's America and Napoleon's France" Exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA), along with paintings, sculpture, prints and drawings of American and French masters such as John Trumbull and Jacques-Louis David, historical documents, jewelry, furniture from the Louvre, the Smithsonian Institution, Art Museums, Foundations and private collections from the United States, France and Britain, celebrating the Louisiana Purchase Bicentennial. Now you have the unique chance to buy the original print from the Museum Gift Shop.
Alternatively, you can order this beautiful work of art on-line for just $199.- including shipping costs. Framed, it makes a nice gift for yourself, your family or your friend. Don't forget that it is not a reproduction, digital or photocopy. Each map is unique, because it is printed and colored by hand.
