FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
The captivating frontispiece of "Navigatio in Brasiliam Americae" transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the encounter between European explorers and the indigenous people of Brazil. This stunning color engraving by Theodore de Bry showcases an intricate scene filled with symbolism and cultural exchange. In this vibrant artwork, we see a group of American Indians engaging in various activities amidst lush foliage and blooming flowers. The natives are depicted wearing elaborate feathered headdresses, emphasizing their connection to nature and spirituality. They sit together, sharing food while embracing their unique customs and traditions. The architecture surrounding them hints at colonialism's influence on these interactions. It serves as a reminder that this encounter was not merely one of exploration but also marked the beginning of significant changes for both sides involved. Latin annotations accompany the image, providing further insight into this historical moment. The title itself suggests that it is an illustration from a larger volume documenting voyages to Brazil, highlighting its importance as a record of early encounters between different cultures. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared history and appreciate the beauty found within diverse societies. It reminds us that even in moments of discovery and colonization, there can be glimpses of understanding and appreciation for one another's ways of life.
