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 showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Catalan Atlas, titled "Caravan on the Silk Road". Found in the esteemed Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this map is a true masterpiece of cartography and graphic arts. Created by Abraham Cresques, a renowned Catalan cartographer who lived between 1325 and 1387, it offers an exquisite depiction of the ancient trade route known as the Silk Road. In this particular section of the map, we are transported back in time to witness a bustling caravan traversing through vast landscapes. The intricate watercolour and ink on paper technique used by Cresques brings life to every element within this scene. From majestic mountains to sprawling deserts, each stroke captures the essence of these diverse terrains that explorers like Marco Polo once encountered. The significance of this image lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical importance. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange facilitated by trade along the Silk Road. As merchants journeyed across continents carrying precious goods such as silk, spices, and ideas, they connected civilizations and shaped our world today. Through this remarkable print from Heritage Images, we can appreciate both fine artistry and historical context intertwined within one piece. It invites us to embark on an imaginary voyage along with those brave adventurers who ventured into unknown territories centuries ago – all while reminding us of humanity's enduring quest for exploration and connection across borders.
