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 showcases the historic Cape Coast Castle, a remarkable architectural masterpiece that stands as a testament to Ghana's rich cultural heritage. The engraving, created by William Smith in London around 1749, offers us an extraordinary glimpse into the castle's majestic North West Prospect. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the imposing structure of Cape Coast Castle, with its sturdy stone walls and intricate detailing. The castle's commanding presence against the backdrop of clear blue skies evokes a sense of awe and wonder. It is as if time itself has stood still within these ancient walls. The composition skillfully captures the essence of Cape Coast Castle's grandeur while also conveying its historical significance. This fortress played a pivotal role in the transatlantic slave trade during colonial times, serving as a hub for capturing and imprisoning enslaved Africans before their harrowing journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Through this print from Fotosearch/Getty Images' Fine Art Storehouse collection, we are transported back in time to witness both the architectural splendor and somber history intertwined within Cape Coast Castle. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for both greatness and cruelty. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this photograph invites viewers to reflect on our shared past while encouraging dialogue about social justice and equality today.
