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.

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 titled "MEXICO: MIXTEC CODEX" takes us back to the early 16th century, offering a glimpse into the complex cultural and religious dynamics of that time. The engraving, based on the Codex Porfirio Diaz, showcases an important moment in Mexico's history - the arrival of Spanish missionaries and their encounter with indigenous Mixtec people. In this scene, we witness a group of Mixtecs coming together to worship at a shrine while Spanish missionaries erect a cross nearby. This juxtaposition symbolizes the clash between traditional indigenous beliefs and the introduction of Christianity by European colonizers. It highlights both resistance and adaptation as native communities navigated their way through this new religious landscape. The intricate details in this engraving capture our attention - from the majestic eagle perched atop an imperial coat of arms to men engaged in various activities around the altar and shrine. Each element tells its own story within this larger narrative of conquest, conversion, and cultural exchange. As we explore this image further, it becomes evident that it is not merely a historical artifact but also a testament to Latin America's rich heritage. It reminds us of Mesoamerica's vibrant civilizations and their encounters with European powers during the age of exploration. Overall, "MEXICO: MIXTEC CODEX" invites us to reflect on how different cultures intersected in colonial times while acknowledging both their complexities and contributions to shaping modern-day Mexico.
