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
Envoys from Cologne Bring Presents to Civilis" is a captivating etching by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, published in 1612 as part of his series "The War of the Romans Against the Batavians." The image depicts a pivotal moment in the Batavian Rebellion, a significant uprising of Germanic tribes against the Roman Empire in the 1st century AD. In the foreground, three envoys from Cologne, dressed in elaborate robes and hats, approach the Roman general, Gaius Julius Civilis (Claudius Civilis), who is depicted on horseback. Civilis, a Batavian prince, had allied with other Germanic tribes to revolt against the Romans. The envoys bring gifts, likely seeking peace or an alliance. The scene is rich in detail, with horses and their riders in the background, and intricate lettering and illustrations adorning the borders. The Baroque style, popular during the 17th century, is evident in the dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as the dynamic poses of the figures. This etching is a testament to the cultural exchange between Europe and the ancient Roman world. It also highlights the complexities of ancient history, where alliances and allegiances shifted frequently, and the role of diplomacy in shaping the course of events. Today, this masterpiece is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich heritage of art and history that spans continents and centuries. The image invites us to explore the stories of the past and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
