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 showcases a remarkable piece of musical history - the JEWs HARP, dating back to 1723. The intricate copper engraving, skillfully crafted by Arnold van Westerhout, beautifully captures the essence of this unique instrument. In the image, we see a man playing the harp with great passion and dexterity. His bare feet firmly planted on the ground as he leans into each note, creating an enchanting melody that resonates through his surroundings. The ragged appearance of his clothing and hat suggests a humble background but does not diminish his talent or dedication. The JEWs HARP itself is intricately designed, with delicate strings stretched across its frame. Its origins can be traced back centuries ago when it was played in various cultures around the world. This particular engraving serves as a testament to its enduring popularity during the 18th century. Through this artwork, we are transported to another time and place where music served as a universal language capable of transcending boundaries and connecting people from all walks of life. It reminds us of the power that art possesses in capturing moments frozen in time while also evoking emotions that resonate with our own experiences. This stunning print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind Arnold van Westerhout's engraving and the cultural significance of an instrument like the JEWs HARP in shaping our shared musical heritage.
