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.

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 "A Perspective View of Covent Garden, 1741" takes us back in time to the bustling market square of London's Covent Garden. The print showcases the area during its transition from a fashionable residential neighborhood to a thriving trading hub. Created by I. Maurer in the 18th century and now part of a private collection, this artwork offers an intriguing glimpse into historical London. The scene depicts a few sheds amidst elegant Georgian buildings, hinting at the area's evolving nature. The cobbled streets and colonnades add charm and character to the setting while St Paul's Church stands proudly in the background, designed by renowned architect Inigo Jones. Market traders can be seen manning their stalls, selling an array of fruits and vegetables that were undoubtedly sourced locally. This image captures not only the vibrant trade taking place but also reflects how markets have long been integral to city life. Covent Garden's transformation over time is evident in this engraving – once known for its fashionable residences, it gradually became synonymous with its iconic piazza and world-famous market. Through this historic print, we are transported back to 1741 when Covent Garden was on the brink of change – still retaining elements of its residential past while embracing its future as one of London's most beloved cultural destinations.
