Description: ··· IMAGE ··· This poster is a reproduction of original "Pictorial Illustrations" pages of a 1906 Webster Dictionary - which is a very thick and heavy book! It includes drawings of all sorts of ships and boats from the period, nautical items such as an anchor and a diving bell, a diagram of sail setups, and a great cutaway side-view of a full-rigged ship. The image is sharper and clearer than Etsy's picture resolution allows - even the fibers in the old paper can be clearly seen! Remember, this one can be viewed best in the larger poster sizes. A great sea-faring addition to any room! ··· HISTORY ··· Noah Webster published his first dictionary, titled "A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language," in 1806. In 1807, Webster started two decades of intensive work to expand his publication into a fully comprehensive dictionary. To help him trace the etymology of words, Webster learned 26 languages. Webster hoped to standardize American speech, since Americans in different parts of the country used somewhat different vocabularies and spelled, pronounced, and used words differently. The 1909 edition, a monstrous single volume called "Webster's New International" dictionary, included over 500,000 words! ··· DETAILS ··· - Printed on the highest quality, heavyweight, matte coated paper.- Matte paper duplicates the original look of the vintage documents.- 230gsm | 10.6mil | Over 3x the thickness of regular paper.- Frame & matting not included - but all are standard, easy-to-find sizes.- Depending on size ordered, prints will have a 4mm - 25mm white border.- Multiple sizes are available - including a full-size 24" x 36" poster! ··· SHIPPING ··· - Larger posters are rolled, bagged, & DOUBLE tubed - guaranteed undamaged arrival.- 8x10 prints are bagged & shipped in a heavy-duty stay-flat envelope.- USPS Priority shipping (1-3 days, tracked, & insured).
