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 showcases a remarkable sea chart of the coast of Gambia and parts of Senegal, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. Created by renowned printmakers Jan Luyken and Johannes van Keulen I between 1683 and 1799, this map is a true testament to their mastery in cartography. As we delve into the intricacies of this historical piece, our eyes are immediately drawn to the vivid depictions that adorn its surface. Snakes slithering through waves, monstrous creatures lurking beneath the depths, monkeys swinging from branch to branch - all come together to create an enchanting scene that captures both imagination and curiosity. The presence of a black man wearing a feather headdress adds cultural significance to this artwork. With an ax in hand, he stands amidst cut snakes while monkey runs nearby. This portrayal hints at the rich diversity found along these coastal regions during that era. Compasses and compass roses meticulously placed on the chart guide us towards cardinal directions as we explore every inch of this geographical marvel. The inclusion of French miles further emphasizes its historical context. In Quint Lox's skillful capture, one can appreciate not only the artistry behind this sea chart but also its invaluable contribution to our understanding of world geography centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even in today's digital age, there is still immense beauty in tangible representations like maps – windows into our past adventures across land and sea.
