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 showcases a remarkable sea chart of the coast of Congo and Angola, created by Jan Luyken and Johannes van Keulen (I) in the late 17th century. The intricate details on this map transport us back to an era when cartography was both an art form and a vital tool for exploration. The image depicts two men engrossed in conversation as they study the sea chart with great intensity. Their focused gazes are fixed upon the compass roses, indicating cardinal directions, while their hands hold compasses to navigate through uncharted waters. Armed with arrows, these men symbolize the bravery required to venture into unknown territories. Intriguingly, a merman is depicted swimming alongside them, representing mythical creatures that were often associated with unexplored regions of the world during that time period. This inclusion adds an element of mystery and wonder to this already fascinating piece. The map itself reveals detailed coastal features of Congo and Angola, providing valuable geographical knowledge for sailors and explorers alike. French miles are marked along its edges as units of measurement. Quint Lox's skillful photography captures not only the historical significance but also the beauty inherent in this antique sea chart. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with maps as windows into our past adventures and future possibilities.
