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 etching by George Braun, titled "Fishing in an Almadraba Tuna," is a stunning representation of the traditional tuna fishing industry in the Mediterranean Sea, specifically in the region of Catalonia, Spain. The image, taken from Braun's seminal work "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum" (Theatrum orbis terrarum), published between 1572 and 1617, offers a glimpse into the economic and culinary significance of tuna fishing during the late 16th century. The scene depicts a bustling almadraba, a type of tuna fishery, where fishermen work in unison to herd tuna into a narrow channel, using large nets to trap them. The intricate details of the etching reveal the precision and teamwork required for this ancient fishing technique. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the rich history and culture of this region. It is important to note that this etching is not to be confused with the modern Braun & Schneider company, but rather the work of George Braun, a prominent cartographer and publisher of the time. Other notable figures of the era, such as Abraham Ortelius and Franz Hogenberg, also contributed to the production of "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum." The economic importance of the tuna fishing industry during this period is evident in the intricate details of the etching. However, it also highlights the culinary significance of tuna, which was a prized ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine. The image of a cook preparing a tuna dish in the foreground underscores the connection between the economic and gastronomic aspects of this industry. Music also plays a role in the scene, as musicians are depicted in the background, adding to the lively atmosphere of the almadraba. This etching is a testament to the interconnectedness of various aspects of life during the late 16th century, from the economy and gastronomy to music and culture.
