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 a remarkable "Design for Armor Decoration" created around 1515 by the renowned Hopfer Workshop. The workshop, led by Daniel Hopfer, was based in Germany during the 16th century and is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship. The intricate etching on this armor design reflects the artistic mastery of the era. The floral motifs are exquisitely stylized, with each delicate petal and leaf meticulously rendered. This decorative concept demonstrates a harmonious blend of nature's beauty with the practicality required for warfare. As we gaze at this second state of two prints preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we can't help but marvel at its historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into an age when armor played a vital role in protecting warriors on the battlefield. This image transports us to another time and place, evoking thoughts of chivalry, honor, and bravery. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with war as artists sought to elevate even utilitarian objects like armor into works of beauty. Through this stunning photograph from Heritage Images, we are reminded once again why museums hold such importance in preserving our cultural heritage.
