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 titled "Ms Palat. 218-220 Book IX Aztec feather artisan designing and cutting patterns" takes us back in time to witness the incredible craftsmanship of an Aztec feather artisan. The image, sourced from the Florentine Codex by Bernardino de Sahagun, showcases the intricate process of designing and cutting patterns for their exquisite creations. The skilled native craftsman is seen engrossed in his work, meticulously selecting feathers and arranging them with precision. Every detail matters as he carefully cuts each piece to fit perfectly into the overall design. His expertise is evident through his focused expression and delicate handling of materials. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overstated. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Mexico, highlighting the mastery and creativity that existed within indigenous communities long before European colonization. Preserved in the Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy, this particular page belongs to Sahagun's "Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espana". Written by trilingual Nahuatl, Spanish, and Latin Aztec students under Sahagun's guidance, it serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scholarly collaboration during a pivotal period in history. As we admire this remarkable portrayal of native painting craftsmanship, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its contribution to our understanding of cultures past.
