Circumnavigator Continent Drake Latitude Longitude

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 print takes us back in time to the 16th century, where we witness Sir Francis Drake's remarkable circumnavigation of the globe. The map, expertly engraved by Frans Hogenburg, showcases the audacious journey undertaken by this legendary English explorer. As our eyes wander across the intricate details of this coloured engraving, we are reminded of the immense courage and determination it took for Drake to navigate uncharted waters and conquer unknown territories. The map not only serves as a testament to his extraordinary voyage but also highlights the advancements in cartography during that era. The continents depicted on this historic chart come alive with vibrant colors, inviting us to imagine what it must have been like for Drake as he sailed through these vast oceans. Latitude and longitude lines crisscross each other, guiding him on his daring expedition while simultaneously reminding us of mankind's insatiable thirst for exploration. Inscribed within this masterpiece is a profound quotation by Cicero: "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need". These words resonate deeply as they remind us that knowledge and adventure go hand in hand - just like Drake's courageous pursuit of discovering new lands. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within its frame. It stands as a timeless tribute to one man's indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment to uncovering the mysteries of our world.
