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.

This print showcases a Spanish map from 1582, offering a glimpse into the exploration and cartography of South America during the 16th century. The intricate details on this map highlight the vastness of the continent, emphasizing two significant geographical features - the Amazon River and the River Plate (also known as Rio de la Plata). As an artifact of colonialism and imperialism, this Spanish map reflects Spain's quest for dominance in South America during that era. It serves as a reminder of how European powers sought to navigate and claim new territories across the globe. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to the charted rivers, making them stand out against other geographical elements.
