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 takes us back to the year 1854, offering a glimpse into the historic city of Saint-Louis in Senegal. The illustration, originally featured in Louis Leon Faidherbe's book "Le Senegal" showcases the remarkable beauty and significance of this West African capital. Saint-Louis, known as Ndar in Wolof, was established by French traders on an uninhabited island called Ndar in 1659. In honor of King Louis XIV of France, it was named Saint-Louis-du-Fort. This engraving from the 19th century perfectly captures the colonial charm and imperial presence that characterized this thriving river town. The image portrays a panoramic view of Saint-Louis with its stunning coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The map-like quality adds depth to our understanding of how this coastal city played a vital role in French colonisation during that era. As we gaze upon this aerial perspective, we can almost feel the sea breeze and hear echoes from centuries past. It serves as a reminder of both Senegal's rich history and its enduring ties to France. Preserved within New York Public Library's collection, this artwork offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It stands as a testament to the cultural exchange between Africa and Europe during a time when empires sought dominance over distant lands. Let us cherish this visual window into Saint-Louis' past – an enchanting blend of colonial architecture, maritime heritage, and vibrant
