31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 remarkable piece of cartographic history - the "Map of the Central Mediterranean". Created by the talented Italian cartographer Grazioso Benincasa in 1468, this ink on parchment masterpiece is a true testament to his skill and dedication. The map takes us back in time to an era of great exploration and discovery, when sailors braved treacherous waters to chart unknown territories. It offers a detailed depiction of the central Mediterranean region, encompassing Rome, Italy, North Africa, and various islands such as Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica. Every stroke of ink on this ancient parchment tells a story of geographical knowledge passed down through generations. The intricate details highlight coastlines and ocean currents with precision that was groundbreaking for its time. As we gaze upon this Renaissance-era treasure, we are transported to an age where maps were not just navigational tools but works of art. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it serves as a window into how our ancestors perceived their world. Now preserved within a private collection but made accessible through this stunning print from Fine Art Finder's extensive catalogue at www. bridgemanart. com , we can appreciate both the beauty and educational value that lies within this extraordinary piece. Let it inspire us to explore new horizons while cherishing the rich heritage left behind by those who came before us.
