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.

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 "Columbus in the New World, 1906" by Edwin Austin Abbey takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. The painting depicts Christopher Columbus, adorned in knightly armor, planting his sword into the uncharted soil of the New World. Kneeling beside him is a priest, engaged in an outdoor mass as they both offer their gratitude for this newfound land. The artist skillfully captures the essence of discovery and exploration through symbolism. In the background, vibrant flamingos native to the New World grace the scene while flags from Europe flutter proudly above them. This juxtaposition represents both old and new worlds colliding. Abbey's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously portrays Columbus' ship sailing towards this unknown territory with billowing sails that symbolize hope and adventure. The painting exudes a sense of awe and wonderment as we witness this historical event unfold before our eyes. As one gazes upon this masterpiece, it becomes apparent that Abbey intended to honor Columbus' courage and determination while also acknowledging the complex consequences of European colonization on indigenous peoples. It serves as a reminder of both triumphs and tragedies associated with exploration. Displayed at Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA, this artwork invites viewers to reflect on America's past and contemplate its future. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and ambition that continues to shape our world today.
