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 stunning 18th century copper engraving by Martin Engelbrecht, after a drawing by Jacques Rigaud, depicts the apparatus involved in the procurement of food and water for triremium galleys in the Western Mediterranean during the Early Modern Era. The intricate scene unfolds in the vibrant waters of the Mediterranean Sea, with a panoramic view of the bustling activity aboard the galleys. The triremium, a type of ancient Greek warship, is anchored in the foreground, its three banks of oarsmen in action, propelling the vessel forward. In the background, smaller boats laden with provisions and water jostle for position, their colorful sails and banners adding a dynamic element to the composition. The flag of Spain, with its distinctive design of a red cross on a golden background, flies proudly from one of the boats, signifying the nationality of the galleys. The triremium's crew, clad in various stages of undress, are shown transporting water and foodstuffs from the smaller boats to the galley, using buckets and other implements. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured water to the individual faces of the sailors, bring the scene to life, offering a glimpse into the logistical challenges of sustaining long voyages on the open sea during this period. This work of art, with its rich historical significance, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the maritime communities of the Early Modern Era.
