Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the history of coffee cultivation, depicting Captain Gabriel de Clieu's journey to bring back a precious coffee plant to Martinique. Instructed by King Louis XIV in 1725, de Clieu is shown sharing his ration of water with the fragile seedling to save it from drought. The engraving from "The Illustrous Universe" in 1862 beautifully illustrates this act of kindness and determination.
Gabriel de Clieu, also known as De Clieux or Declieux, was the governor of Guadeloupe at the time and took on the daunting task of transporting the coffee plant across oceans to ensure its survival. His selfless gesture towards the seedling symbolizes not only his dedication to fulfilling his mission but also his understanding of the importance of nurturing new beginnings.
This historical moment marked a significant turning point in the spread of coffee cultivation throughout the Caribbean and beyond. It is a reminder that sometimes great achievements require sacrifice and perseverance, qualities exemplified by Captain Gabriel de Clieu in this remarkable story captured for eternity in this exquisite photo print.
