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 map print, titled 'The Malay Archipelago,' is an intriguing glimpse into the Victorian era's understanding of the vast and complex geography of Southeast Asia. The map, created by the renowned naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in 1874, is a meticulous record of the islands that make up the Malay Archipelago in the 19th century. Wallace, an English explorer, naturalist, and anthropologist, is best known for his co-discovery of the theory of evolution by natural selection with Charles Darwin. However, his contributions to the cartography of the Malay Archipelago are equally significant. The map's intricate detailing reveals the extensive knowledge Wallace had gained during his numerous expeditions through the region between 1854 and 1862. The islands are depicted with remarkable accuracy, and the map includes annotations detailing the names of various islands, their sizes, and their approximate locations. The map also includes illustrations of some of the fauna and flora native to the region. The map's antique charm transports us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of human endeavor. The muted colors and intricate detailing evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, making it an excellent addition to any room as a conversation starter or a decorative piece. Hang it on your wall during daytime hours to fully appreciate its intricacies and the rich history it represents.
