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.

West Africa 1547 Date - 1547
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing antique map depicting the western coast of Africa as it was perceived during the early Portuguese exploration era. The map, created in the year 1547, offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge and mythology of the time. The map is richly detailed, showing various African kingdoms, coastlines, and landmarks. The Eastern and Middle Guinea regions are prominently featured, with the Mina and Gold Coasts clearly marked. Mythical beasts and fantastical creatures are interspersed among the geographical features, reflecting the European imagination of the unknown world. At the tip of the map, the headless figure of Jorge de Aguiar, a Portuguese explorer and governor of Cape Verde, is shown standing. He is depicted as if roaming the land, holding a staff and a globe, symbolizing his journeys and voyages. The map also includes various ports and trading centers, indicating the importance of the region in the global trading network of the time. The map is a testament to the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the 16th century. It stands as a reminder of the complex interplay between fact and fiction, reality and myth, that shaped the European understanding of the African continent during this period. The map's age and intricate details make it an invaluable resource for historians, cartographers, and anyone interested in the history of exploration and the African continent.
