Cannibal Compass Del Mundo Diego Homm Portugues

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 showcases a mesmerizing detail from a world atlas dating back to 1565. Titled "Mouth of the Amazon, Brazil" it transports us to an era when cartography was still in its infancy. Created by Diego Homem, a renowned Portuguese artist of the 16th century, this vellum masterpiece is now housed at The National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg. The image captures the essence and grandeur of South America's largest river - the mighty Amazon. With intricate details and precision, Homem beautifully depicts the mouth of this iconic river system that has fascinated explorers for centuries. The map also features elements such as compasses and ships, symbolizing the adventurous spirit that drove early navigators to discover new lands. One cannot help but be drawn into this historical artwork's rich narrative. It offers glimpses into an era when exploration was synonymous with danger and discovery often came hand-in-hand with uncertainty. Moreover, it highlights how maps were not only tools for navigation but also works of art that conveyed cultural knowledge. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our planet's wonders and our relentless pursuit to understand them better. This photograph print serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and scientific progress - capturing a moment frozen in time while inviting us on an imaginative journey through history itself.
