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 coastal town of Malindi, Kenya, in 1873. The image showcases the magnificent Pillar of Vasco da Gama, a historical monument that still stands tall today. This wood engraving captures the essence of this East African gem with its scenic view and bustling dock. The pillar itself is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange between Africa and Europe. It serves as a reminder of Vasco da Gama's arrival in Melinde (now Malindi) during his voyage from Portugal to India. Standing against the backdrop of an enchanting coast, it symbolizes both exploration and trade. In this snapshot, we see people going about their daily lives in this vibrant Kenyan town. Their presence adds depth to the scene, giving us a glimpse into what life was like during that era. The engraving beautifully depicts not only the physical aspects but also captures the spirit and energy of Malindi at that time. As we admire this piece from Granger Art on Demand, let us appreciate how it transports us to another world – one where history comes alive through intricate engravings such as these. It reminds us that even though times change, there are certain landmarks that stand as enduring symbols connecting our past with our present-day experiences.
