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 handcoloured copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" transports us back in time to the ancient world of maritime exploration and warfare. The intricate details of the Phoenician merchant ship, the ancient warship, and the floating castle of King Hiero of Syracuse, Sicily, designed by Archimedes, are beautifully captured in this historical print.
As we gaze upon these remarkable vessels, we are reminded of the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors who braved the seas in search of new lands and opportunities. The Phoenician merchant ship symbolizes trade and commerce that connected distant civilizations, while the ancient warship speaks to a time when naval power was crucial for defense and conquest.
The floating castle designed by Archimedes is a testament to ancient engineering prowess, showcasing innovative technologies that were ahead of their time. It serves as a reminder of how human creativity knows no bounds when it comes to pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Friedrich Johann Bertuch's dedication to educating children through his encyclopedia illustrated with engraved plates on various subjects further enhances our appreciation for this stunning artwork. This print not only captures a moment in history but also sparks our imagination about the wonders of ancient seafaring civilizations.
