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 "A COURT FOOL, 1552" takes us back to the Renaissance era, immersing us in the grandeur and entertainment of a royal court. The woodcut form from Sebastian Munster's renowned Cosmographia Universalis transports us to Basel, Switzerland in the year 1552. In this image, we witness a mesmerizing spectacle as a court fool captivates his audience with his whimsical antics. Dressed in an elaborate medieval costume, he brings laughter and joy to those around him. His presence adds color and liveliness to the otherwise formal atmosphere of the court. Sebastian Munster's woodcut technique beautifully captures every intricate detail of this scene - from the fool's expressive face to the ornate costumes worn by other men present at court. It is through such artistry that we can truly appreciate the craftsmanship of this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it serves as a reminder of how entertainment has always played an essential role in human history. Whether it be jesters or modern-day comedians, their ability to bring mirth and amusement transcends time. Granger Art on Demand presents this stunning print by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection for our enjoyment today.
