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.

Manhattan Purchase, 1626 - A Glimpse into the Birth of a City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1626, capturing an iconic moment in history - Peter Minuit's purchase of Manhattan Island. The image is based on Alfred Fredericks' painting and beautifully depicts the Dutch colonial official himself, Peter Minuit (1580-1638), as he engages in this significant transaction. Set against the backdrop of a bustling American coast, we witness a scene filled with exploration and opportunity. A ship can be seen anchored nearby, symbolizing the arrival of European settlers to these uncharted lands. As men gather around Minuit, negotiations are underway between Dutch traders and Native American tribesmen adorned in traditional head dresses. This engraving provides valuable insight into early colonization efforts by showcasing one of America's oldest settlements - New Amsterdam. It serves as a reminder that long before towering skyscrapers dominated its skyline, Manhattan was once a humble trading post established through diplomacy and commerce. The image offers glimpses into Pieter Minuit's role as both merchant and settler; his shrewdness securing this land for future generations to come. This historic event laid the foundation for what would eventually become one of the world's most vibrant cities - New York City. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, let us reflect on how it encapsulates not just an important historical moment but also represents resilience, cultural exchange, and human ambition that shaped
