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.

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 frontispiece to Nova Reperta, engraved by Theodor Galle in the late 16th century, transports us back to a time of great exploration and innovation. Created by Jan van der Straet (known as Giovanni Stradano), this print is part of a series commissioned by the esteemed Florentine Alamanni family. The Nova Reperta series aimed to showcase the remarkable discoveries and inventions of the new age. As we gaze upon this intricate engraving, our eyes are drawn to various elements that symbolize these groundbreaking achievements. A majestic tree adorned with silk worms represents European development in sericulture, while an imposing mechanical clock signifies advancements in timekeeping technology. The title page proudly announces "Nova Reperta" meaning "new discoveries" in Latin, capturing the spirit of curiosity and progress that defined this era. The presence of a printing press highlights one of humanity's most transformative inventions: movable type revolutionized communication and knowledge dissemination. Intriguingly, amidst these symbols lies a cannon—a reminder that scientific progress was not solely for peaceful purposes but also fueled military advancements during this period. As we delve into this extraordinary artwork from centuries past, it serves as a visual testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those early days of discovery while inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries and embracing new possibilities in our own age.
