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 stunning map print, created in the late 18th century, offers a captivating glimpse into the vast territories of the Ancient Persian Empire as it existed in 1798. The Persian Empire, ruled by the Persian monarchs, reached its zenith during this period, extending from Greece in the northwest, through modern-day Turkey and the Middle East, to Egypt and Libya in the southwest, deep into the Caucasus in the northeast, and even touching the Indian subcontinent. The map meticulously illustrates the empire's diverse geographical features, including the fertile plains of Mesopotamia, the rugged mountains of the Caucasus, the vast deserts of Arabia, and the shimmering waters of the Gulf Sea. The territories under Persian rule are depicted in rich detail, with cities, rivers, and mountains all clearly marked. The map also highlights the empire's strategic locations, such as the crucial trade routes that connected the Mediterranean world to the Indian subcontinent. The Persian Empire's influence extended far beyond its borders, with the Scythians to the north and India to the east also depicted on the map. This historical map is an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the ancient world. It offers a unique perspective on the size and scope of one of history's most powerful empires, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our world today.
