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 mesmerizing Tomb of the Askias at Gao in Mali. Standing proudly as a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of Western Africa, this unique pyramid-style mud-brick structure was constructed in 1495 by Askia Mohamed, the first Askia emperor and a renowned warrior. The tomb serves as both a memorial and burial site for Emperor Askia Mohamed, who lies peacefully within its walls. Its distinct design showcases an exquisite blend of African and Islamic influences, making it a true masterpiece of Sudanese architecture. As you gaze upon this image, you cannot help but be awestruck by the grandeur and majesty emanating from every angle. The intricate details etched into the adobe bricks tell stories of an empire that once thrived under Askia's rule - an empire known as Songhay or Songhai. Recognized for its cultural significance, this remarkable tomb has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stands not only as a symbol of power but also as a reminder of Mali's glorious past. Allow yourself to be transported back in time through this stunning photograph. Let it serve as a window into an era where emperors reigned supreme and their legacies were immortalized through magnificent structures like the Tomb of the Askias at Gao.
