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.

Campi Phlegraei
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Plate VII), an exquisite observation of the volcanic landscapes of the Two Sicilies, is a testament to the exploratory spirit of Sir William Hamilton during his tenure as Ambassador to the Kingdom of Naples in the late 18th century. This stunning illustration, compiled in Naples between 1776 and 1779, showcases the breathtaking beauty and raw power of the Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields) volcanic complex located near the Bay of Naples, Italy. Sir William Hamilton, a renowned Scottish scholar and diplomat, was not only an accomplished diplomat but also an avid collector of art and natural history. His keen interest in geology and volcanology led him to closely observe and document the active volcanoes of the region. This illustration, produced during the daytime hours, captures the otherworldly landscape of the Campi Phlegraei, with its steaming vents, conical peaks, and diverse landforms. The painting, executed in a detailed and meticulous style, offers a bird's-eye view of the volcanic complex, revealing the intricate interplay between the various geological features. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the sense of depth and three-dimensionality, inviting the viewer to explore the landscape further. The Campi Phlegraei, also known as the Phlegraean Fields, have long been a source of fascination for scientists, artists, and travelers alike. Sir William Hamilton's "Campi Phlegraei" (Plate VII) remains an invaluable record of this unique and dynamic landscape, providing insights into the geomorphology and geological history of the region. This illustration continues to inspire awe and wonder, reminding us of the beauty and power of nature.
