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 handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1823, offers a fascinating comparison of the heights of some of the world's most renowned mountains and the quaint mountain towns nestled at their bases. The engraving features Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest peak in the world, located in the majestic Himalayas. Also depicted are Chimborazo in the Andes of South America, Mont Blanc in the Alps of Europe, and Mount Etna, the active volcano in Italy. The image further showcases the picturesque towns of Chota (Micuipampa), Quito, and Cinchoma, situated at the foot of these mountains. Chota, located in present-day Ecuador, is shown with its vibrant houses and lush greenery, while Quito, the capital city of Ecuador, is depicted as a bustling urban center. Cinchoma, a small town in Bolivia, is illustrated with its traditional adobe houses and agricultural terraces. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is evident in the way the mountains are depicted, with their distinct shapes and snow-capped peaks, as well as the intricate depiction of the towns and their surroundings. This image not only provides a visual representation of the grandeur of these mountains but also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the communities that call them home. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the print, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical illustrations or maps. This engraving is a testament to the artistic and cartographic achievements of the early 19th century and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the natural world and the human spirit that has sought to explore and document it.
