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 "Plan of the City of Washington as originally laid out in 1793" offers a glimpse into the early stages of one of America's most iconic cities. Created by an anonymous American School artist in the 18th century, this print showcases the meticulous planning and vision behind Washington D. C. 's design. The city's layout was entrusted to Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French-born American architect and urban planner who was appointed by none other than George Washington himself. This historic plan serves as a testament to L'Enfant's expertise and his ability to envision a grand capital for the newly formed United States. As we examine this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the birth of Washington D. C. , with its carefully designed streets and intricate network that would soon become home to countless government buildings, monuments, and institutions. The Potomac River gracefully winds through this map-like town, adding both beauty and practicality to its layout. Today, Washington D. C. stands as a symbol of democracy and power on an international scale. This print not only captures its original conception but also reminds us of how far it has come since then. As we admire this historical artifact from Fine Art Finder's collection at Centre Historique des Archives Nationales in Paris, France, let us appreciate the rich history embedded within every street corner and building facade that make up our nation's capital.
