17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 takes us back in time to the bustling markets of the 14th century. The image showcases a Seller of Capers, an important figure in medieval trade and commerce. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this illustration from Tacuinum Sanitatis truly brings history to life. The seller, a distinguished-looking man dressed in traditional attire, stands proudly behind his market stall. He is surrounded by an array of plants and herbs, but it is the capers that take center stage. These small green buds were highly sought after for their unique flavor and medicinal properties during this era. Intriguingly, the seller can be seen meticulously weighing the capers on scales before presenting them to potential customers. This attention to detail highlights both his dedication to quality and his commitment to fair trade practices. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of how knowledge was shared across cultures during medieval times. The Tacuinum Sanitatis itself was based on Arabic texts translated into Latin – a testament to the rich exchange of ideas between different civilizations. Through this remarkable print, we are transported back centuries ago when marketplaces were vibrant hubs of activity where people gathered not only for sustenance but also for social interaction and cultural exchange. It serves as a reminder that even today's modern world owes much of its progress to these historical roots.
