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.

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 intricately detailed map, dated circa 1757, offers a captivating glimpse into the geopolitical landscape of North America during the Seven Years War. The focus of the map is the expansive Hudson Bay, a body of water that was of great strategic importance to both the French and English during this period. At the heart of the map, the principal English settlement of Fort York is depicted, marking the center of the Hudsons Bay Company's influence. Fort York, established in 1682, served as a vital trading post and military outpost for the English. The fort's strategic position at the mouth of the Niagara River provided control over the access to the Great Lakes and the rich resources they offered. Surrounding Fort York, several other English forts are shown, including those at Moose Factory, Albany, and James Bay. These forts were crucial to the English defense against French encroachment in the region. On the opposite side of the map, the French forts of New France are depicted. Notable among these is Fort Frontenac, located at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Cataraqui Rivers. This fort was a significant stronghold for the French, providing access to the Great Lakes and control over the fur trade in the region. The map also highlights several rivers and waterways, including the Niagara, St. Lawrence, and Ottawa Rivers. These waterways were essential for transportation and communication between the various forts and settlements. This map offers a fascinating look into the complex political and military landscape of North America during the Seven Years War. The depiction of the forts and settlements along the Hudson Bay provides insight into the strategic importance of this region and the efforts of both the French and English to establish and maintain their presence in the New World.
