Aerial Birds Eye View Frankfurt
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back in time to the bustling city of Frankfurt am Main in 1628. Created by the talented artist Matthaus Merian, this print offers a mesmerizing birds-eye view of the German city. The intricate details and precision with which Merian has captured every aspect of Frankfurt's architecture and landscape is truly remarkable. From this elevated perspective, we can see the winding river that gracefully flows through the heart of the city, dividing it into two distinct halves. The buildings are meticulously depicted, showcasing a mix of Gothic and Renaissance styles that were prevalent during this period. The streets are alive with activity as tiny figures go about their daily lives, giving us a glimpse into what life was like in 17th century Frankfurt. Merian's skillful use of shading and perspective adds depth to the composition, making it feel almost three-dimensional. This print serves not only as a beautiful work of art but also as an invaluable historical document, providing us with insights into Frankfurt's urban planning and development over four centuries ago. As we gaze upon this stunning aerial map, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since Merian immortalized this moment in time. It reminds us that while cities may evolve and transform over centuries, their essence remains intact – just waiting for curious minds to uncover their stories once more.
