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 takes us back to the year 1869, during the construction of the iconic Suez Canal in Ismailia, Egypt. The image showcases a scene of leisure and relaxation amidst the bustling construction site. A group of workers and locals can be seen enjoying a refreshing sea bath on a beautiful beach along the canal. The contemporary French wood engraving, based on an original drawing by Édouard Riou, perfectly captures the essence of this historical moment. The intricate details and delicate lines bring to life the vibrant atmosphere surrounding these individuals as they take respite from their arduous tasks. In this snapshot, we witness not only a temporary escape from work but also a glimpse into daily life during this significant period in maritime history. The presence of boats further emphasizes the importance of water transportation for both recreation and commerce. The Suez Canal's construction was an ambitious endeavor that connected two continents and revolutionized global trade routes. This image serves as a reminder that even amid such monumental projects, people still found solace in simple pleasures like bathing in the ocean. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece as part of their collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value while reflecting on our shared human experiences throughout history.
