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
. In this breathtaking snapshot captured by the talented Ralph H Bendjebar, we witness a mesmerizing blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology. Nestled atop the majestic Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island, a traditional offering to the gods takes center stage against the backdrop of the iconic Keck Observatory. As wisps of clouds dance around the summit, nature unveils its awe-inspiring beauty. The carefully arranged cairn stands as a testament to centuries-old customs that honor both land and sky. Its rocks, lovingly placed one upon another, symbolize respect for this sacred environment. Meanwhile, peering through time and space from behind is none other than the renowned Keck Observatory. With its state-of-the-art telescopes gazing into distant galaxies, it serves as a modern-day bridge between our earthly realm and celestial wonders. This image reminds us that even in our fast-paced world filled with technological marvels, there remains an undeniable connection to our roots. It invites us to pause for a moment amidst bustling progress and appreciate the harmony between tradition and innovation. So let your imagination soar high above these Hawaiian hillsides – where ancient rituals meet scientific exploration – as you immerse yourself in this extraordinary photograph brought to life by DanitaDelimont. com.
