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 intricately detailed and beautifully hand-colored map, titled "The Invasions of England and Ireland With al [sic] their Civill [sic] Wars since the Conquest," is a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex history of the British Isles. Created by the renowned cartographer John Speed in 1627, this map was sculpted by Cornelis Danckerts and published by George Humble. The map meticulously depicts the locations of various battles, invasions, and naval engagements that have shaped the history of England and Ireland since the Norman Conquest of 1066. The invasions and wars represented on this map include the Anarchy, or the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485), which saw the House of Lancaster and the House of York vying for the English throne, and the Spanish Armada (1586-1588), a failed invasion of England by the Spanish fleet. The map also highlights significant battles such as the Battle of Hastings (1066), where William the Conqueror defeated Harold Godwinson to claim the English throne, and the Battle of Bosworth Field (1485), where Henry Tudor defeated Richard III to become Henry VII and establish the Tudor dynasty. This map is a testament to the rich and complex history of the British Isles, providing a visual representation of the various conflicts and invasions that have shaped the region's political and cultural landscape. The intricate detail and beautiful hand-coloring make this a stunning addition to any historical collection.
