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 showcases the historical voyage of Vasco da Gama's fleet in 1497. Departing from Lisbon, Portugal, these four magnificent ships embarked on a daring journey that would forever shape the course of history. In this beautifully illustrated image, we witness the clockwise arrangement of the fleet's vessels. At the top left stands Sao Gabriel, proudly serving as the flagship for this momentous expedition. Alongside her is Sao Raphael, another sturdy sailing ship ready to brave uncharted waters. The third vessel is Berrio, known for its exceptional storage capacity and vital role in supplying provisions during long voyages. Lastly, an unnamed storage ship completes this formidable fleet. The illustration captures not only the exterior beauty of these caravels but also provides a glimpse into their maritime significance during the Renaissance era. With meticulous handwriting accompanying each vessel's depiction, it serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration during the Age of Discovery. As we delve into this remarkable piece of artistry from a 16th-century Portuguese manuscript, we are transported back in time to witness Vasco da Gama's pioneering spirit and his relentless pursuit to reach Calicut in 1498. This image encapsulates both awe-inspiring adventure and profound historical significance within its intricate details—a true tribute to one of humanity's greatest explorers and his legendary fleet.
