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.

This photograph captures the essence of Canton in 1924, showcasing a bustling street scene that reflects the early stages of westernization in China. In the foreground, a motor bus takes center stage, symbolizing progress and modernity amidst traditional Chinese architecture. The bus stands as an emblem of change, representing the growing influence of technology and transportation on daily life. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time where pedestrians dressed in traditional Chinese clothing navigate their way through the busy streets. Their presence adds depth to the image, highlighting both continuity and adaptation within Chinese society during this period. The composition exudes authenticity with its grainy texture and vintage charm. It serves as a visual time capsule that allows us to witness firsthand how Canton was transforming under external influences while still retaining its cultural identity. This photograph is not just an ordinary piece; it encapsulates an era marked by significant societal shifts. It invites us to reflect on how globalization has shaped our world today and prompts contemplation about what aspects of our own culture have been influenced by outside forces.
