17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. 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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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 engraving, titled "Port and Town of Algiers, c. 1572" offers a glimpse into the historical beauty of Algeria's capital city during the 16th century. The print showcases an intricate street map and layout of Algiers, based on a 1572 map by Braun and Hogenburg. The image depicts a bustling harbor scene with ships docked at the pier, suggesting a thriving maritime trade in this North African city. The fortified city walls stand tall as a symbol of protection against potential invaders, while the jetty extends into the bay, providing access to vessels for loading and unloading goods. The details in this artwork provide valuable insights into Algerian history and culture during that era. It highlights the Arab civilization's influence on architecture and urban planning in North Africa. Additionally, it serves as a reminder of Algeria's rich heritage within the broader context of Africa. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made accessible through Bridgeman Images.
