Junk Pagoda Siam Thai Thailand
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 coloured engraving, titled "View of Bangkok" takes us back in time to the bustling cityscape of Siam in 1893. The print, originally featured in Le Petit Journal on August 12th of that year, showcases the remarkable talent of Henri Meyer. With its intricate details and vibrant hues, this piece offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Thailand. The scene unfolds with an array of boats gracefully gliding through the port's tranquil waters. From traditional junks to smaller vessels, each boat adds a sense of movement and liveliness to the composition. In the distance, a majestic pagoda rises above the horizon, serving as a testament to Bangkok's architectural splendor. Meyer masterfully captures both the grandeur and intimacy within this snapshot of everyday life in Siam. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from meticulously rendered buildings along the waterfront to tiny figures engaged in various activities on land and sea. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported back over a century ago when Bangkok was still known as Siam—a time when trade flourished at its bustling harbor and ancient temples stood tall against modernization. This print serves as a visual reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be glimpses into our past worth cherishing for generations to come.
