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 handcoloured copperplate engraving by Buonajuti, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1843, offers a captivating view of the interior of the Coliseum in Rome, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre or the Colosseum. The intricately detailed illustration invites us to explore the multi-layered architecture of this iconic symbol of ancient Rome. The Coliseum, built between 70-80 AD, was an innovative structure designed for entertainment and spectacle. Its elliptical shape, measuring approximately 189 meters long and 156 meters wide, could accommodate an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. The interior, as depicted in this engraving, reveals the complex system of layers that facilitated the various games and spectacles. The lower level, visible in the foreground, was where gladiators and wild animals fought to the death. The second level, partially concealed, was used for mock sea battles and other water spectacles. The third level, at the top, was reserved for the elite, who watched the events unfold from their luxurious seating. The Coliseum's architectural brilliance is further highlighted by the intricate details in this engraving. The vaulted ceilings, arches, and columns are all meticulously rendered, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and complexity of ancient Roman engineering. This historical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of Buonajuti and Giulio Ferrario but also offers a fascinating insight into the past, allowing us to appreciate the architectural marvel that is the Coliseum.
