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 section of the Lenox Globe, which is believed to be the second or third oldest known terrestrial globe in existence. Created between 1503 and 1510, this remarkable artifact provides us with a glimpse into the early understanding of our world. The focal point of this image is a plane projection of the New World, labeled as Terra Sancta Crucis. This term refers to the Holy Land of the Cross and reflects the religious significance attributed to these newly discovered lands during that time period. The intricate details on this facsimile drawing, created around 1890, allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in producing such an important historical object. The map depicts various rivers snaking through vast stretches of land, while ships sail across oceans connecting distant regions. As we observe this print closely, we are reminded of how far our knowledge has expanded since those early exploratory voyages. The Lenox Globe serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination in uncovering new frontiers. It is fascinating to consider how much has changed since this globe was first crafted - from uncharted territories becoming familiar nations like America and Caribbean islands gaining their own identities within global history. This image invites us to reflect on both our past accomplishments and future possibilities as we continue exploring and mapping out our ever-evolving world.
