Devil Fantasy Flying Fish Huts New World Savages Monster
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
This photo print, titled "America (engraving)" by the French School of the 16th century, takes us back in time to explore Europe's perception of the New World. Housed in a private collection and now available for all to admire, this engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the European imagination. The image is teeming with fantastical elements that reflect both curiosity and fear surrounding this uncharted land. A monstrous creature looms overhead while a devilish figure lurks nearby, evoking notions of danger and mystery. In contrast, flying fish gracefully glide through the air, adding an element of enchantment to this otherworldly scene. Amidst this surreal backdrop are huts inhabited by native Americans - or what Europeans perceived as "savages" - providing insight into their limited understanding of indigenous cultures at that time. The composition serves as a reminder of how early encounters between different civilizations were often colored by misconceptions and prejudices. Although created centuries ago, this artwork continues to spark contemplation about historical perceptions and cultural exchange. It invites viewers to ponder not only how America was once envisioned but also how our own perspectives shape our understanding of unfamiliar territories today. Displayed on www. bridgemanart. com's Fine Art Finder platform, this remarkable piece stands as a testament to human curiosity and artistic expression throughout history.
