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 captures the essence of Africa's rich history and natural beauty in Cape Verde, specifically on the island of Santiago. The focal point is the magnificent fortress of Cidade Velha, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. Its ancient walls tell stories of a bygone era when this strategic location played a crucial role in protecting these islands. As you gaze at this image, you can almost feel the ocean breeze brushing against your skin as you walk along an old path that leads to this historic town. The road seems to whisper tales from centuries past, inviting you to explore its hidden corners and immerse yourself in its cultural heritage. Cidade Velha holds UNESCO World Heritage status, serving as a testament to its significance not only for Cape Verde but also for African history as a whole. It was once frequented by renowned figures like Francis Drake during his voyages across the vast Atlantic. This print transports you to a place where time stands still – where ancient meets modernity amidst breathtaking scenery. Whether displayed in your home or office, it serves as a reminder of Africa's enduring allure and invites dreams of future travels to discover more about this remarkable continent.
