FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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 hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Public Library of Sultan Abdul Hamid I, the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, who ruled from 1773 to 1789. The image, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario in his "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and scholarly atmosphere of the library. The interior of the library is adorned with an intricately designed arch, surrounded by bookcases filled with an extensive collection of books and scrolls. Scholars, dressed in turbans, are engrossed in their studies, some reading from books while others peruse scrolls spread out on a carpeted table. The library's ambiance is further enhanced by the presence of a grand vizier, Recip Pasha, and other Ottoman statesmen, all dressed in their traditional attire, contributing to the intellectual discourse. The library of Sultan Abdul Hamid I was a significant center of learning and knowledge during the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan himself was an avid reader and patron of the arts and sciences. The library housed an extensive collection of manuscripts, books, and scrolls, making it a treasure trove for scholars and intellectuals. The engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and scholarly traditions of the Ottoman Empire during the late 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the illustration provide a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of scholars and statesmen during the Ottoman period.
