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.

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
Plate Nine from A New Book of Ornaments, created by Simon Gribelin in 1704, offers a captivating glimpse into the intricate and ornate world of Baroque decorative arts. This engraving on paper, hailing from eighteenth-century France, showcases a complex composition filled with an array of cherubs, amorini, birds, and animals, all intertwined in a harmonious yet intricate design. The central focus of the image is a suit of armor, adorned with elaborate ornamentation, which is held by two putti or cherubs. Their youthful faces, filled with curiosity and mischief, contrast sharply with the heavy and intricate armor they hold. The armor itself is a marvel of design, with intricate patterns and delicate engravings that reveal a level of complexity and craftsmanship that speaks to the skill of the artist. Surrounding the armor are various birds, some perched on branches, while others fly overhead. These birds add a touch of natural beauty to the image, providing a welcome contrast to the ornate and decorative elements. The cherubs and putti, with their playful expressions and delicate wings, add a sense of whimsy and lightness to the composition. This engraving, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the past. It invites us to explore the intricacies of Baroque design, to marvel at the complexity of the patterns and the skill of the artist, and to appreciate the beauty and elegance of the ornamental arts.
