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 captures the extraordinary event of a sperm whale washed ashore on 13 January 1601 at Beverwijk. In the foreground, we see Count Ernst Casimir van Nassau engrossed in his drawing, holding a paper in his hand. A crowd of spectators surrounds him, eagerly observing this rare spectacle. The background reveals the vastness of the sea on the left and a bustling beach scene with cars and people on the right. Atop the image, two perspectives of the whale's head emerge, symbolizing its immense size and power. Between them lies a Latin mission addressed to Count Ernst Casimir by Saenredam. Above this inscription, an ominous depiction unfolds: a darkened sun and moon allude to impending horrors associated with the arrival of this massive creature. Below these celestial symbols lies an earthquake imagery accompanied by an arrow shooting towards Amsterdam Virgin as if foreshadowing doom. The caption accompanying this remarkable visual narrative consists of a 32-line verse written in Latin that speaks to various themes such as swimming mammals (specifically whales), mortality (the dying animal), death itself (the dead animal), and showcases scenes from outdoors where our draftsman is diligently working amidst nature's splendor. This engraving measures approximately 410mm in height and 593mm in width, making it an impressive piece within Liszt Collection's archives.
