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 a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of Madagascar Island from the Isolario dell Atlante Veneto, Volume II, created by Vincenzo Coronelli in Venice between 1696 and 1697. Crafted using copperplate printing techniques, this intricate map measures 61 x 45.5 cm and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 17th-century navigation. With its vertical orientation and Western script annotations, this map serves as both a tool for guidance and an artistic masterpiece. It provides valuable insight into the physical geography of Madagascar Island, situated in the vast Indian Ocean off Africa's eastern coast. The complexity of its illustrations highlights Coronelli's attention to detail and his dedication to accurately representing this remote island. As we admire this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when maps were essential companions for travelers seeking new frontiers. This particular map not only aids in understanding Madagascar's geographical features but also sheds light on the artistry involved in creating such navigational tools. The absence of people within this image allows us to focus solely on the beauty and precision captured by Coronelli's craftsmanship. Whether used for practical purposes or admired purely for its aesthetic value, this Map of Madagascar Island is a testament to human curiosity about our planet's diverse landscapes.
