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 titled "SEA MONSTER, 1555" takes us back to the Renaissance era and the mysteries that surrounded the vast oceans. The woodcut, created by Swedish geographer Olaus Magnus in Rome, Italy in 1555, depicts one of the sea monsters believed to inhabit the Sea of Darkness. Intriguingly eerie, this image showcases a monstrous creature emerging from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Its menacing presence strikes fear into sailors' hearts as they navigate their sailing ship through treacherous waters. With its elongated body and serpentine features, it embodies both danger and evil. During this period, maritime exploration was at its peak as brave seafarers ventured into uncharted territories. This woodcut serves as a testament to their encounters with mythical creatures lurking beneath the waves. It captures their awe-inspiring tales passed down through generations. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every scale on this sea serpent's body seems meticulously carved onto paper. The contrast between light and dark adds depth and intensity to this ancient beast. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it reminds us of humanity's enduring curiosity about what lies beyond our familiar shores. It invites us to ponder not only our past but also our present relationship with nature's wonders that continue to captivate our imagination.
