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 print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Ms 315. Horace, Ars Poetica and Epistulae, f. 1v. T-O Map of the world from the 14th century. Created by an anonymous illuminator, possibly from Florence, this manuscript transports us back in time to a period when cartography was still in its infancy. The map itself is a fascinating depiction of the world as it was understood during that era. The distinctive T-O shape divides the continents into three sections: Asia at the top, Europe on the left, and Africa on the right. Notably, Egypt is shown as part of Asia rather than Africa. Intriguingly, rising prominently from within this intricate map is a tower symbolizing Jerusalem - a city deeply significant to multiple religions and cultures throughout history. Its presence serves as a reminder of its central role in shaping human civilization. Through this print provided by Bridgeman Images with kind permission from The Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, we are granted access to an invaluable artifact that offers insights into medieval perspectives on geography and religious symbolism. As we gaze upon this image captured on parchment centuries ago by Italian artists whose identities remain unknown but whose artistry endures through time – let us appreciate their skillful craftsmanship while contemplating how our understanding of both maps and cultural boundaries has evolved over centuries.
