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.

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 handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Ruins of the Temple of Isis in Pompeii, Italy, with an intricately detailed altar at its center. The Temple of Isis, dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis, is one of the most well-preserved temples in Pompeii, a city famously buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The temple, which dates back to the 1st century BC, was an important center of worship for the cult of Isis in the Roman world. The altar, adorned with intricate carvings and decorative elements, is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of ancient Roman religious practices. The image captures the essence of the temple's historical significance and the awe-inspiring beauty of its ruins. The engraving is taken from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages," published in 1798. Spalart was a renowned German engraver and antiquarian who traveled extensively throughout Europe to study and document historical costumes and architectural ruins. His works, which include this engraving of the Temple of Isis in Pompeii, remain important sources of historical and artistic information to this day.
