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 print takes us back in time to the colonial era of North America, specifically showcasing a map of New Sweden. Hand-colored with meticulous attention to detail, this 19th-century woodcut reproduction beautifully captures the essence of a 17th-century map. The map itself is an invaluable historical artifact, providing insight into the early settlement and colonization efforts by Swedish pioneers in America between 1638 and 1685. It showcases the vast territory encompassing present-day Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and parts of neighboring states. The intricate illustration highlights key landmarks such as Chesapeake Bay and other significant geographical features. One cannot help but be fascinated by the rich history embedded within this vintage artwork. It serves as a testament to Queen Christina's vision for expanding Swedish influence across Eastern shores during her reign in the mid-1600s. This visual representation transports us back to a time when these lands were still being explored and settled. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the resilience and determination exhibited by those who ventured into uncharted territories centuries ago. It stands as a reminder that our present-day United States was shaped not only by British colonies but also by lesser-known European endeavors like New Sweden. This artful depiction invites us to appreciate our shared heritage while marveling at how far we have come since those early days of exploration and colonization on American soil.
