N. C. Wyeth's "Romance of Discovery" aka "Maps of Discovery" aka the 5 murals
In Dec. 2012/Jan 2013, I had my 5 N.C. Wyeth pictorial supplements professionally matted & framed. I wanted to share them finally here for others to see.
Knowing how the large murals of these are hung and presented at Society's H.Q. in D.C. is what always gave me the idea to frame them. Note the beading on the frame I used for the Hemispheres, as it matches (sort of) the bead-like framing Wyeth embedded himself around the perimeter.

Beautifully done, Scott !!! Coincidentally, I will be mentioning N. C. Wyeth (and these murals) in my April "100 Years Ago" posting.
