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 captures the arduous journey of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and his men during their eight-year trek between the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico City from 1528 to 1536. Illustrated by Alfred Russell, this artwork takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in a pivotal moment of exploration and conquest. In this illustration, we see a group of Spanish explorers led by Cabeza de Vaca standing on a beach along the Gulf Coast. Clad in armor and helmets, they carry weapons such as spears, muskets, and halberds - symbols of their conquistador status. The image also highlights the physical toll that this expedition took on its participants; one man is depicted as an amputee, reminding us of the hardships faced during these early expeditions. The backdrop showcases the vastness and beauty of Latin America's New World - a land waiting to be discovered and claimed by European powers during the Age of Discovery. This image serves as a reminder not only of Cabeza de Vaca's remarkable journey but also sheds light on the broader historical context surrounding Mesoamerica at that time. Alfred Russell's detailed illustration transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand one chapter in humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge and power. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding our past and an artistic testament to human resilience in face of adversity.
