23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 year 1875, offering a glimpse into the world as it once was. The old map of the world displayed here is not just a mere representation of geographical boundaries; it tells stories of significant historical events that shaped nations and continents. In this particular snapshot, we witness Britain's strategic move under Prime Minister Disraeli, acquiring the Suez Canal to safeguard its vital sea route to India. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, the United States expands its settlements into Oregon, marking another milestone in their westward expansion. The map also highlights an intriguing conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia through an invasion by Egyptian forces. This event serves as a reminder of past tensions and power struggles within Africa during that era. Amidst these geopolitical developments, we find a glimmer of hope for peace with Japan and Russia reaching a treaty that settles territorial claims between them. Such diplomatic agreements were crucial in maintaining stability amidst global rivalries. Lastly, Stanley's African expedition stands out prominently on this map - an arduous journey fraught with immense hardships but driven by curiosity and exploration. This vintage map print encapsulates not only geographical information but also offers valuable insights into political dynamics and human endeavors from over a century ago. It serves as both an educational tool and a nostalgic window into our shared history.
