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 to Upper Egypt, specifically Aswan, where the desert meets the mighty Nile. Perched on a hill that serves as a natural barrier between these contrasting landscapes stands the remarkable Coptic monastery of St. Simeon. The image transports us to 1968, capturing a moment frozen in time by Azan Anna from Alinari. The composition offers an intriguing glimpse into the daily life within this ancient sanctuary. In one corner, we see the lighthouse keeper diligently tending to his duties, ensuring safe passage for those navigating the river at night. Moving our gaze further into the frame, we notice grinding stones scattered around – remnants of centuries-old traditions and practices carried out by devoted monks who once resided here. These stones tell stories of hard work and dedication that have shaped both their spiritual lives and physical surroundings. As our eyes wander across this snapshot of history, they are drawn towards vibrant frescoes adorning the walls of St. Simeon's Monastery. These intricate artworks depict religious scenes and figures intertwined with rich symbolism—a testament to the faith that has thrived within these sacred walls for generations. Azan Anna's photograph not only captures architectural beauty but also invites contemplation about human resilience and devotion amidst harsh environments such as Egypt's arid landscape. Through this single image, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in Upper Egypt's cultural heritage while marveling at its enduring treasures like St. Simeon's Monastery standing tall against nature's elements.
