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.

This print showcases the "Elephant Broadsheet, c1629" a remarkable German woodcut broadsheet from the 17th century. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship of this artwork transport us back in time to an era when zoology and biology were still emerging fields of study. The image depicts a majestic elephant at its center, surrounded by various men on foot and horseback. One man stands confidently atop the elephant's back, holding a spear with authority while another brandishes a whip. This scene evokes curiosity about the relationship between humans and animals during that period. The border surrounding the main illustration is adorned with ornate designs, adding an element of elegance to this historical piece. It serves as a reminder of how art was not only used for aesthetic purposes but also as educational tools or means of storytelling.
