On Vacation
This Victorian-Era chart on celestial bodies is from the pages of HP Lovecraft’s favorite book. Titled "Chart of Double Stars and Clusters" it was engraved in 1856 by W. G. Evans for Burritt's Atlas to Illustrate the Geography of the Heavens. I have two charts from this book - see the other chart here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/115033399
I print this image onto a heavy weight art canvas. The canvas is digitally aged to look authentically old.
The print is displayed in a reusable poster hanger that is made of oak wood rails that are compressed together by antiqued brass thumb screws and attached to the top and bottom of the print. The hanger can then be hung on a hook or nail by the brass ring and organic hemp twine.
The wood is finished in your choice of 100% non-toxic and environmentally friendly finishes. You can feel good about hanging this in a nursery or child's room. I use milk paint for the stained wood and mineral paint for the painted wood followed by my own polish made of beeswax and walnut oil.
The title of the print and additional information regarding the print is printed on a card and displayed in an aged brass card holder. I can also make custom cards with wording of your choice if you would like a personalized card. If you would not like a label holder attached please leave a note at checkout.
I love the simplicity of these - no heavy frame or glass - and easy to hang anywhere!
