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
is a captivating print that takes us back in time to the bustling quays of Marseille in the early 19th century. Created by Louis Amphoux, a French artist from the 18th-19th century, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork beautifully captures the essence of maritime commerce and trade. In this scene, we witness an array of merchant ships gracefully sailing into the port, their sails billowing in the wind. The dockworkers are hard at work unloading goods from these vessels, ensuring a smooth flow of cargo onto the wharf. The atmosphere is alive with activity as crates and barrels are transported along bustling pathways. Amphoux's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. From intricate depictions of each ship's rigging to subtle reflections on the shimmering waters, every element adds depth and realism to this picturesque scene. As we gaze upon "The Port of Marseille" we can almost hear the distant calls of seagulls and feel a gentle sea breeze against our skin. This artwork serves as a testament to Marseille's rich maritime heritage and its vital role as a hub for international trade during that era. Displayed at Musee de la Marine in Marseille, France, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistic skill and historical significance. It reminds us how art can transport us across time and space while preserving moments that shaped our world today.
