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 print showcases the Globe of 1492, a remarkable artifact that predates Christopher Columbus' discovery of America. The diagram, based on Martin Behaim's globe, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world as it was perceived just before this monumental event in history. Hand-colored and beautifully crafted, this woodcut illustration from the 19th century transports us back to an era when navigation and exploration were at their peak. The absence of the New World on this globe is striking; it reminds us of how limited knowledge about distant lands was during that time. As we study this intricate piece, our eyes are drawn to the vast oceans connecting continents such as Africa, Asia, and Europe. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless curiosity to explore uncharted territories. With its rich historical significance and traditional artistic style, this print takes us on a journey through time. It evokes feelings of wonderment and awe for those who have an appreciation for cartography and the Age of Discovery. This image encapsulates not only the artistry involved in creating such maps but also reflects upon our collective heritage as explorers. Whether displayed in homes or educational institutions, this vintage photograph captures both beauty and intellectual curiosity. Its presence invites contemplation about how far we have come since then while honoring the legacy left by pioneers like Martin Behaim.
