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 illustration, hailing from the 15th century, presents Mars, the Roman god of war, amidst the celestial backdrop of the zodiac signs Aries and Scorpio. The intricately detailed print, titled "Sphaera" or "The Sphere," is of Lombard origin and was illustrated by Cristoforo de Predis around the year 1470. The image is currently housed in the Giuseppe Campori Exhibition Hall of the Estense Library in Modena, Italy. Mars is depicted as a regal figure, clad in armor and astride a galloping horse, symbolizing his association with war and military power. The red planet itself is shown as a fiery orb in the sky, surrounded by a bridge, castle, and fortress, representing the military camps and strongholds of Aries and Scorpio. The god's banner bears the insignia of the eagle, a symbol of his strength and leadership. The panoramic landscape below showcases a bustling city, with cavalry troops and cannons ready for battle, while a bridge spans a winding river. The illustration's intricate details and vibrant colors offer a glimpse into the rich literary and artistic traditions of medieval Europe during the Renaissance period. The illuminated manuscript page, adorned with gold accents and delicate penwork, is a testament to the painstaking craftsmanship of the time. This stunning representation of Mars and the zodiac signs of Aries and Scorpio continues to captivate and inspire scholars and enthusiasts of astrology, history, and art alike.
