Imperial Federation High quality map showing the extent of the British Empire in 1886

The Imperial Federation, a map of the world portraying the extent of the British Empire in 1886 by Captain J.C.R. Colomb, M.P. formerly R.M.A.
Would server as a great gift for someone who loves history, cartography and maps.

WARNING
This map was made with the intent to be put on display as is, in a bazeless frame or behind a glass pane.
If you put it in a frame with normal bazels, the small writing at the top and bottom of the map may be obstructed, thus ruining the look of the map.

Notes:
Pictorial map on Mercator projection centered on the Greenwich Prime Meridian, placing Great Britain just above the map's central focal point. Published as a color supplement to The "Graphic" at the same time as Queen Victoria's Jubilee of 1886. British Isles, and British colonies spreading out to the east and the west, were highlighted with red, while other geographical areas were left blank with only a minimum number of place names. An inset box was placed near each of the major colonies, listing statistics about geographical area, population, and trade. The words "Freedom, Fraternity, Federation," suggesting a peaceful co-existence within the British Empire, were prominently placed along the map's top margin, but the remainder of the map's illustrations imply "colonialism." At the bottom center Britannia is seated on top of the world ruling over her subjects, represented by a variety of animals and costumed figures. India, identified by an elephant and a tiger, appears in the lower left corner, while Australia, including a kangaroo and a sheep, is shown in the lower right. The illustrations were done by Walter Crane, a prominent illustrator and artist with strong socialist sympathies, perhaps explaining the contradictory themes in the map of imperialism and "human labour" holding up the world in the form of Atlas. Crane's contributions to the map remained unnoticed until the research of Pippa Biltcliffe was published in 2005.

A small guide to the GSM index of a paper can be found below:
60-100gsm is standard for most household print paper. This is the weight you would expect to feel for a typical A4 piece of print paper.
110-140gsm is the weight typical of most traditional poster papers. It's sturdy enough to withstand a little wear and tear but too thin for a fine art print. Think flyers and posters.
170-200gsm is a more weighty and sturdy paper. This is the minimum gsm for fine art print.
210-300gsm is generally the weight for a more premium fine art paper. It is a little more like card with a tactile feel but still has a bend to it.
310-400gsm is a much thicker, card-like paper. This is the weight you'd likely feel for greetings cards and wedding invitations. This is for a premium, heavyweight paper that offers the look and feel of original artwork.

I'm also accepting custom requests and can print a picture of your choice in A2, A3, A3+ & A4 formats with a quality paper that I'm using (230 - 312GSM).
