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 print takes us back in time to the year 1665, showcasing a beautifully detailed map of East Africa. The focus lies on Ethiopia, also known as the kingdom of Prester John, and Abyssinia, surrounded by the Arabian Peninsula. Printed in Amsterdam by Jan Blaeu for his renowned Atlas Maior, this piece is a true testament to the artistry and precision of cartography during that era. The image transports us to an age when exploration was at its peak, with Dutch sailors venturing into uncharted territories across distant seas. The sun shines brightly overhead as it illuminates the vast coastline stretching from Mozambique to Saudi Arabia. A family stands proudly beside their parasol, dressed in traditional African attire adorned with turbans. Engraved with intricate details and delicate lines, this map offers a glimpse into the cultural richness of East Africa during that time period. It features rivers meandering through lush landscapes while ships sail along the Indian Ocean and Red Sea trade routes. Intriguingly placed within a decorative cartouche are portraits of Johann Janszoon Blaeu himself alongside an Ethiopian man and woman – perhaps representing local inhabitants encountered during his travels. This inclusion adds depth and humanity to an otherwise technical representation. Overall, this print captures not only historical significance but also evokes a sense of wonderment about our world's past explorations and connections between different cultures.
