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 print titled "Models for an Embroidery Album" takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing the delicate artistry of botanical samplers. Created by Sluyter and illustrated by Cornelis Borsteegh, this handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the skill and creativity of Dutch artisans during that era. The album features intricate embroidery designs inspired by roses and sunflowers, symbolizing beauty and friendship. The motto "Souvenir d'Amitie" or "Souvenir of Friendship" adds a touch of sentimentality to these exquisite pieces. Each stitch tells a story, reflecting the bond between friends or loved ones. Anna Barbara van Meerten's Penelope magazine dedicated to women's empowerment in Holland published this artwork in 1821. Van Meerten was not only an educator but also a writer and pioneer in women's rights, making her contributions significant during that time. This print captures not just the artistic aspect but also sheds light on interior design trends prevalent in Europe at that time. These models were likely used as inspiration for needlework enthusiasts who sought to adorn their homes with beautiful embroidered furnishings. Whether you appreciate craftwork or are fascinated by historical artifacts, this image transports you into a world where every thread holds meaning and every stroke represents dedication. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to inspire generations even centuries later.
