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 antique map of Daphne takes us on a journey back in time to the 17th century. Created by the renowned Dutch cartographer Joan Blaeu, this coloured engraving is a true masterpiece from his Atlas Major collection. The print showcases an aerial view of the temple of Daphne, located near Antiocha in Syria. With its mixture of myth and history, this artwork transports us to a world where ancient legends intertwine with reality. Blaeu meticulously prepared this map based on various ancient sources such as Ammianus, Strabo, and Philostratus. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and allows us to explore the narrative of this enchanting town. The landscape depicted in this print is nothing short of breathtaking. The lush forest surrounding Daphne adds depth and beauty to the scene, while the winding Orontes River meanders through the countryside. From high above, we can observe every detail - from rooftops and streets to distant horizons. This antique map not only serves as a historical document but also captivates our imagination with its baroque style and intricate details. It reminds us that even centuries later, art has the power to transport us across time and space.
