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 1876 print, titled "Columbus and Men in Canoe," transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The image, produced by the renowned Currier and Ives publishing company, depicts Christopher Columbus and a group of his men making their way to the shore of the New World, now known as America. The date, October 12, 1492, is etched into the print, marking the historic event that forever changed the course of human history. Columbus, wearing his distinctive hat and holding the Spanish flag aloft, stands confidently in the bow of the small canoe. His men, dressed in period attire, row diligently behind him, their eyes fixed on the distant land. The tranquil waters of the Caribbean Sea reflect the sun-kissed sky, adding to the serene and idyllic scene. The print, a fine example of 19th-century American art, captures the spirit of exploration and discovery that defined the era. Columbus, the intrepid explorer, is often credited with opening the door to the New World, paving the way for the United States and other European colonies. This historic event, commemorated in the "Columbus and Men in Canoe" print, continues to be celebrated as a significant milestone in world history. The print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the artistic skill and historical significance of the Currier and Ives publishing company. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was still being discovered and explored, and the future of the Americas was yet to be written.
