Atlantic Canary Funchal Madeira Portugal Portuguese Slides
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 lantern slide depicts the breathtaking view of Funchal, the largest city on the Portuguese island of Madeira, as seen from the sea in the late 1800s. The Atlantic Ocean's crystal-clear waters reflect the vibrant colors of the city's rooftops, while the natural amphitheater of the bay cradles the harbor and its bustling commercial activity. Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 330 miles off the coast of Morocco. The archipelago's volcanic origins have shaped its unique topography, with lush greenery cascading down steep cliffs and picturesque terraces. Funchal, the administrative, economic, and cultural center of Madeira, has been a popular destination for travelers since the late 19th century, drawn by its subtropical climate, natural beauty, and rich history. The lantern slide, part of Box 126, Canary and Madeira, slide no 26, dates back to the 1890s. The intricate details of the image, from the ships in the harbor to the buildings along the shoreline, offer a glimpse into the past, revealing the charm and allure of Funchal during this era. This historical artifact invites us to explore the fascinating history of Madeira and its connection to the wider world.
