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 print showcases "The Kingdome of England" an exquisite engraved map created by Jodocus Hondius in the late 16th century. The artwork is a part of John Speed's renowned publication, "Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain" which was published between 1611 and 1612. Hondius' masterful craftsmanship is evident in this hand-colored copper engraving, capturing the intricate details of each county within England. The map not only serves as a geographical representation but also provides a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this majestic kingdom. As one explores this remarkable piece, they are transported back in time to an era where cartography was both art and science. Each crest, coat of arms, and cartouche tells its own story, reflecting the diversity and uniqueness found throughout England's various regions. Moreover, the inclusion of different types and classes within English society adds depth to this visual narrative. From noble lords to common folk adorned in their distinctive costumes, every element contributes to painting a vivid picture of life during that period. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind Hondius' work but also offers insight into how maps were used as tools for exploration and understanding centuries ago. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and geography while reminding us that even through time's passage, beauty can be preserved for generations to come.
