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
1. Title: Ancient Roman Footwear: A Triple Display of Sandals from the Vatican Museum, Arch of Constantine, and Palazzo Albani 2. Description: This image showcases a trio of ancient Roman sandals, each with its unique design and provenance. The sandals, depicted in a meticulous copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga, are based on illustrations by Lorenzo Rocceggiani from his comprehensive work "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans," published in Rome in 1802 by Franzetti. 3. The first sandal, originating from the Vatican Museum, displays a classic Roman design with a simple leather strap wrapping around the foot and securing with a buckle. This design was widely used during the Roman Empire and allowed for both functionality and comfort. 4. The second sandal, sourced from the Arch of Constantine, features a more elaborate design with multiple straps crisscrossing the foot and ankle. This style, often associated with military footwear, provided additional support and protection for the wearer. 5. The third sandal, hailing from the courtyard of Palazzo Albani, showcases a more decorative design with intricate patterns and embellishments. This sandal may have been used for ceremonial or religious purposes, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome. 6. The copperplate engraving process, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, allowed for precise and detailed reproductions of original works. In this case, Ruga's engraving faithfully captures the essence of Rocceggiani's illustrations, offering a glimpse into the diverse and intriguing world of ancient Roman footwear. 7. The classical civilization of Rome is renowned for its enduring impact on art, architecture, and design. These ancient Roman sandals, preserved through the centuries and beautifully rendered in this engraving, serve as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the Roman people.
