1504 Columbus Eclipse Eclipses Moon Phenomena Space
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 image, titled "Eclipse Seen by Columbus," depicts a rare solar eclipse as it would have appeared to the intrepid explorer Christopher Columbus and his crew in the year 1504. The photograph, a beautiful print from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an era when such celestial phenomena held immense significance for ancient cultures and navigators. The image captures the raw power and mystery of nature, as the moon takes center stage in its epic dance with the sun. The sun's corona, a halo of solar material, is visible around the moon's edges, a sight that can only be witnessed during a total solar eclipse. The intricate details of the sun's surface, including sunspots and solar flares, are also evident, providing a glimpse into the dynamic and ever-changing nature of our solar system. Historically, solar eclipses held great importance for ancient civilizations, often being seen as omens or divine messages. For Columbus and his crew, the sight of this eclipse may have been a source of wonder, awe, and even fear. It is believed that the eclipse may have influenced Columbus' decision to return to the New World, as he believed it was a sign from the heavens that he was on the right path. This photograph is a testament to the enduring fascination that solar eclipses hold for us, as they continue to inspire wonder, curiosity, and scientific discovery. With each passing eclipse, we are reminded of the vastness and complexity of the universe and our place within it. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the rich history and scientific significance of solar eclipses, and the importance of continuing to explore and learn from the natural world around us.
