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 vintage print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the early exploration and colonial history of Arctic Canada. The hand-colored woodcut reproduction showcases an intricate map titled "Early Map of Hudsons Strait and Hudsons Bay, 1662". The map itself is a testament to the artistry and precision of cartography during that era. It depicts the vast expanse of Hudson's Bay, with its intricate network of straits and islands. Baffin Island stands prominently in the north, while Quebec lies further south along the St. Lawrence River. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are reminded of intrepid explorers like Henry Hudson who ventured into these uncharted waters in search of new trade routes to Asia. This map was crucial for their navigation through treacherous passages such as Davis Strait and Hudson Strait. The French influence on Canadian history becomes evident as we observe references to New France and French Canada within this artwork. The quest for discovering a Northwest Passage also looms large in this depiction. With its rich colors and meticulous details, this print serves as a visual time machine transporting us back to an age when maritime exploration shaped North America's destiny. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic beauty inherent in cartography as well as the bravery exhibited by those who dared venture into unknown territories centuries ago.
