Step into the vibrant world of 1930s Oregon with Ruth Taylor White’s captivating pictorial map, originally titled simply “Oregon.” Crafted in 1935, this enchanting piece is far more than a geographical reference—it is a visual narrative that brings the state’s spirit to life through exuberant illustrations and thoughtful detail. White’s work, part of a celebrated pictorial atlas series, stands as a testament to the era’s fascination with both artistry and exploration, making it a coveted artifact for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Ruth Taylor White, the visionary behind this map, was renowned for her whimsical, cartoon-like cartographic style. Her maps are instantly recognizable for their bold colors, playful motifs, and the ability to weave cultural storytelling into geographic form. In this Oregon map, White transforms the landscape into a lively tableau, where every county bursts with personality and local flavor. Her illustrations deftly capture the social and economic fabric of the state, from its bustling timber industry to its serene farmlands and rugged coastlines.
The map’s design is a harmonious blend of artistry and information, with vivid depictions of Oregon’s iconic forests, rivers, and mountain ranges. The mighty Columbia River winds its way across the landscape, while the Cascade Range and other mountain silhouettes anchor the scene. Lush forests, teeming with towering trees and industrious loggers, speak to Oregon’s historical reliance on timber, while agricultural vignettes highlight the state’s fertile valleys and pastoral traditions. Wildlife, including fish and birds, dart across the map, celebrating the natural abundance that has long defined Oregon’s identity.
White’s map is also a celebration of Oregon’s people and culture. Native American figures and motifs are thoughtfully included, acknowledging the state’s indigenous heritage. Recreational activities, such as skiing and fishing, are rendered with a sense of joy and adventure, reflecting the outdoor spirit that continues to draw visitors and residents to Oregon’s diverse landscapes. Each illustration is a window into the past, capturing the hopes, industries, and traditions that shaped the region during the early twentieth century.
Perhaps most strikingly, the map features a constellation of Oregon’s cities and towns, each positioned amid the landmarks and environments that define them. From the bustling metropolis of Portland to the coastal charm of Astoria, the map traces the contours of Oregon’s human geography with both accuracy and whimsy. Salem, Eugene, Bend, and Medford are among the many settlements depicted, their presence a reminder of the communities that have grown and thrived in this storied land. With its rich narrative and masterful design, Ruth Taylor White’s “Oregon” is not just a map—it is an invitation to explore the heart and history of the Pacific Northwest.

This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.
Para la mayoría de los pedidos, el tiempo de entrega es de aproximadamente 3 días laborables. Los productos personalizados y a medida tardan más, ya que tengo que hacer la personalización y enviártelo para su aprobación, lo cual suele tardar 1 o 2 días.
Tenga en cuenta que los pedidos enmarcados muy grandes suelen tardar más en fabricarse y entregarse.
Si necesitas que tu pedido llegue para una fecha determinada, por favor contáctame antes de hacer el pedido para que podamos encontrar la mejor manera de asegurarnos de que recibas tu pedido a tiempo.
Imprimo y enmarco mapas y obras de arte en 23 países alrededor del mundo. Esto significa que tu pedido se fabricará localmente, lo que reduce el tiempo de entrega y asegura que no se dañe durante el envío. Nunca pagarás aranceles de aduana o impuestos de importación, y pondremos menos CO2 en el aire.
Todos mis mapas y impresiones artísticas están bien empaquetados y enviados en un tubo resistente si no están enmarcados, o rodeados de espuma si están enmarcados.
Intento enviar todos los pedidos dentro de 1 o 2 días después de recibir tu pedido, aunque algunos productos (como mascarillas, tazas y bolsas de tela) pueden tardar más en fabricarse.
Si seleccionas Entrega Exprés al finalizar la compra, priorizaremos tu pedido y lo enviaremos por mensajería de 1 día (Fedex, DHL, UPS, Parcelforce).
La entrega al día siguiente también está disponible en algunos países (EE. UU., Reino Unido, Singapur, EAU), pero por favor intenta hacer tu pedido temprano en el día para que podamos enviarlo a tiempo.
Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Algunos de mis mapas antiguos ahora están disponibles como lienzos enmarcados. Por favor contáctame si deseas pedir un tamaño que no está disponible en mi tienda.
Los mapas antiguos en lienzo son una alternativa interesante a los mapas enmarcados convencionalmente. Dependiendo de tu gusto personal y la decoración de la habitación, los mapas en lienzo pueden "destacar" un poco más que un mapa enmarcado.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
