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 coloured engraving, titled "A New Land and Water Map of the Entire Earth, 1630" takes us on a journey back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. Created by the talented Dutch cartographer Henricus Hondius, this map showcases his mastery in capturing the world's geography with intricate detail. The print features two hemispheres, meticulously depicting continents such as Europe, Africa, Asia, and the newly discovered lands of America. The vast oceans - Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian - connect these distant lands that were once shrouded in mystery. As we delve into this historic artwork further, we encounter figures from history who greatly influenced our understanding of geography. Gerard Mercator's portrait reminds us of his groundbreaking work in creating accurate maps during the sixteenth century. Julius Caesar and Claudius Ptolemy also make appearances alongside other notable individuals like Queen Elizabeth I. Beyond its geographical significance lies a rich tapestry of life itself. Animals roam across land masses while birds soar through clear blue skies above them. The radiant sun shines down upon it all as if blessing this depiction of our world. This remarkable print not only serves as a testament to Hondius' skill but also transports us to an age when explorers set sail into uncharted territories seeking new horizons. It is a window into history that allows us to appreciate how far we have come in our understanding of our planet's vastness and diversity.
