Feluccas

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 bustling scene of shipping on the historic Suez Canal, taken from a souvenir album commemorating the Voyage of Empress Eugenie. The photograph, captured by Edouard Riou in 1869, showcases a momentous occasion during the canal's inauguration. In this vibrant image, we witness a celebration of progress and maritime triumph as various ships and boats navigate through the canal's shimmering waters. The composition is filled with an array of vessels - from majestic steamships to traditional feluccas - all harmoniously coexisting in this vital trade route. The grandeur of the occasion is palpable as flags flutter proudly atop each vessel, symbolizing national pride and unity. The sheer scale and diversity of these ships evoke a sense of awe at human ingenuity and our ability to conquer vast waterways. Riou's masterful use of watercolor on paper brings out every detail with precision; one can almost feel the gentle ripples created by passing boats. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as a historical testament to an era when global connectivity was being revolutionized. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let us be transported back in time to relish in the excitement surrounding Empress Eugenie's voyage and marvel at how it forever transformed international trade routes.
