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 watercolor painting by Gerrit Lamberts depicts the historic and celebratory ceremony of the laying of the foundation stone for the Willems Lock, or Willemsluis, in Amsterdam-Noord on May 6, 1820. The Willems Lock is an essential part of the Noordhollandsch Kanaal, which provides access to the IJ near Amsterdam. At the heart of the scene, a large white tent serves as an office for Inspector General Jan Blanken, who presides over the event. The tent is adorned with colorful banners and flags, adding to the festive atmosphere. Surrounding the tent, a crowd of figures in period attire gather, some waving Dutch flags and others observing the proceedings. In the foreground, a chalk drawing on the ground outlines the future location of the lock, while in the background, ships and houses line the water's edge. The ships, with their sails unfurled, suggest the importance of water transport in the region. The meticulous attention to detail in this watercolor painting, with its vibrant colors and intricate brushwork, transports us back in time to this significant moment in Dutch history. The painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands and the importance of its waterways in shaping its past and present.
