The following dedication, with quaint spelling and using the old-fashioned convention of printing "v" for "u," serves as the border: After God had carried vs safe to New England, and wee had bvilded ovr hovses, provided necessaries for ovr lively-hood, rear’d convenient places for Gods worship, and settled the civill government. One of the next things we longed for, and looked after was to advance learning and perpetvate it to posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate ministery to the chvrches, when our present ministers shall lie in the dvst. 1636 -- Dedicated to the gradvates of Harvard Vniversity in commemoration of the tercentenary of its fovnding--1936.

The map can be printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing, as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks, making it highly durable and fade-resistant. The exceptional clarity of the printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is with wooden hang rollers attached to the top and bottom. The top roller has a hanging cord, so all you have to do is put a hook on the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour. 

Note: Please allow ten working days for delivery of hang-railed maps, as our framer needs to attach them.
