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 "Frontispiece to De mari libero" transports us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of maritime law and trade. The intricate engraving showcases a majestic galleon sailing through turbulent waters, symbolizing the challenges faced by seafarers during this era. The image is associated with Hugo Grotius and Paulus van Merula de Maribus, two influential figures in international maritime law. Their treatise on maritime law, depicted here as a book cover, aimed to establish principles governing navigation and trade on the high seas. The print exudes an air of authority and importance with its depiction of armed forces surrounding the ship. This emphasizes that naval power played a crucial role in enforcing these laws and protecting commercial interests. "Mare liberum" or "the free seas" is boldly inscribed on the title page, representing the concept that all nations should have equal access to navigate and trade across oceans without restrictions. This notion was particularly significant during a time when European powers were vying for control over lucrative trading routes around the globe. As we admire this historical artwork from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of how legal frameworks shaped global commerce centuries ago. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool that sheds light on our shared history at sea.
