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 woodcut print, titled "Natives of Algoa, 1508" by Hans Burgkmair, takes us back in time to the early 16th century. The artist drew inspiration from Balthasar Springer's account of his voyage to Africa and India as part of a Portuguese trade expedition. This particular piece is part of a series created by Burgkmair based on Springer's narrative. In this print, we see a couple from Algoa, located on the eastern coast of South Africa where Port Elizabeth stands today. The man and woman are depicted seated together, surrounded by their children. They wear furs and animal skins as clothing, showcasing their indigenous lifestyle. The intricate details captured in this woodcut allow us to observe not only the physical appearance but also the expressions and emotions portrayed by each individual within this native family unit. It provides an invaluable glimpse into the lives and culture of these African natives during that period. Burgkmair's work serves as an important historical document for ethnography enthusiasts who seek to understand different cultures through art. This print invites viewers to reflect upon the diversity and richness found within humanity across various corners of our world.
