31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 captures a pivotal moment in history - the Spanish Conquest of Mexico in 1519. The image showcases Hernando Cortes' ships arriving in the bustling harbor of Veracruz, Mexico. Illuminated from the Codex Florentino, a manuscript compilation by Bernardino de Sahagun, this artwork provides us with a glimpse into the early days of European exploration and colonization. The scene is filled with anticipation as Cortes and his men disembark from their majestic ships onto the seashore. A conquistador on horseback leads the way, symbolizing both power and dominance. In contrast, indigenous people stand on the shore, witnessing this invasion that would forever change their lives. This photograph not only highlights an important historical event but also serves as a reminder of Latin America's rich cultural heritage. It portrays the clash between two worlds - Spanish colonizers seeking wealth and glory versus native Mesoamerican civilizations rooted in ancient traditions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back to a time when maritime exploration was at its peak during the Age of Discovery. The intricate details captured through manuscript illumination bring life to every element within this composition. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an extraordinary piece that sparks curiosity and invites contemplation about our shared human history.
