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 17th-century print depicts the bustling port city of Riga, Latvia, during the Baroque era. The image, created by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of this European city. The scene is dominated by the impressive towers of Riga's churches, their spires reaching towards the heavens and casting long shadows over the bustling waterfront. Boats and vessels of various sizes fill the harbor, with sailors and merchants busily loading and unloading cargo. The intricate details of the boats, from their rigging to their ornate decorations, showcase the skill and craftsmanship of the time. The modern age had not yet reached these shores, and transportation remained largely dependent on the wind and the sea. The Museum of History and Navigation in Riga is the proud home of this exquisite print. It serves as a reminder of the city's storied past as a major trading hub, connecting Europe to the Baltic Sea and beyond. The print also highlights the city's unique blend of architectural styles, with Baroque influences evident in the grandeur of the churches and the intricate details of the buildings lining the waterfront. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, to an era of exploration, discovery, and the unfolding of new horizons. The print is a testament to the enduring allure of Riga and its rich maritime heritage, a legacy that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
