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 image showcases a rare and historically significant map print of Germany and the current Netherlands, as depicted in Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas, created by the renowned Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius in 1574. The map, which is housed in the Library of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain, offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the late 16th century. Ortelius, a native of Antwerp, Belgium, was a pioneering figure in the field of cartography during the European Age of Discovery. His groundbreaking atlas, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, was the first to present a uniform and consistent set of maps based on the latest geographical discoveries and research. The map of Germany and the Netherlands in this first edition is a testament to the meticulous detail and accuracy of Ortelius' work. The map reveals the political and geographical landscape of central Europe during the late 16th century, with the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation dominating the map, and the southern part of what is now the Netherlands depicted as the Spanish Netherlands. The intricate detail of the map includes the names of various rivers, mountains, and cities, as well as the depiction of several ships and a vessel in the North Sea, reflecting the importance of maritime trade during this period. The map also bears the title "Descriptio Germaniae Inferioris," which translates to "Description of Lower Germany," highlighting the regional divisions and political complexities of the time. The map's title in Latin, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," meaning "The Theatre of the World," underscores the importance of geographical knowledge and exploration during the era of European expansion and discovery. This exquisite map print is a valuable historical artifact, offering a unique window into the geographical and political landscape of Europe during the late 16th century.
