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.

This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Cambridgeshire, as meticulously engraved by the talented Jodocus Hondius. Taken from John Speed's renowned Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain, this hand-coloured copper engraving transports us back to the early 17th century. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship bring to life a map that captures not only the geographical layout but also the essence and grandeur of this historic county. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, our eyes are drawn to Cambridge, its prominent city at the heart of it all. The carefully etched colleges stand tall, each one a testament to centuries of academic excellence and intellectual pursuit. A ruler and compass gracefully adorn the scene, symbolizing precision and accuracy in cartography. A majestic cartouche proudly displays a crest with an air of regality while showcasing Cambridge University's coat of arms—a reminder that knowledge is power. This image invites us on a journey through time, inviting us to explore every nook and cranny within these ancient walls. With its rich history steeped in academia and culture, Cambridgeshire emerges as more than just a place on a map; it becomes an embodiment of intellectual enlightenment intertwined with natural splendor.
