23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 depicts a brave Warrior of Ombai, hailing from the enchanting Ombai Island in Indonesia. The island, also known as Ombay, is located in the Pacific region of Asia and is renowned for its rich cultural heritage. The Warrior is dressed in intricately designed armour, meticulously crafted to protect him in battle. His shield, adorned with geometric patterns and vibrant colours, is held firmly in his left hand. In his right hand, he wields a formidable kris, a traditional dagger with a distinctive curved blade, symbolizing both power and status. His long, dark hair is tied up in an elegant plume, adding to his regal appearance. The Warrior's intense gaze and strong posture exude confidence and determination. This powerful image is a testament to the courage and resilience of the people of Ombai Island. The engraving is an exquisite reproduction of an original illustration by Jacques Arago, created for Frederic Shoberl's publication, "The World in Miniature: The Asiatic Islands and New Holland," published in London in 1824. Arago's masterful depiction of the Warrior and his surroundings provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse history of the Pacific region.
