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 from Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the intricate details of an African map. The map itself showcases the vastness and diversity of the continent, with its rich tapestry of nations, rivers, and landscapes. Africa's unique shape is beautifully depicted in this vintage piece, reminding us of its significance as one of Earth's most awe-inspiring continents. What makes this particular print even more intriguing is the inclusion of an insert showcasing the iconic Suez Canal. This man-made marvel connects two great bodies of water - the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea - providing a vital trade route between Europe and Asia. Its presence on this historical map serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to reshape nature for our benefit. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by The Granger Collection, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration was at its peak. It reminds us that maps not only serve as navigational tools but also encapsulate stories of discovery, conquests, and cultural exchange. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply appreciate art that tells tales from bygone eras, this print offers a fascinating window into Africa's past while highlighting one of humanity's greatest engineering achievements – all captured through The Granger Collection's meticulous attention to detail.
