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 print takes us back to the late 1880s, where we find ourselves in Egypt on a mesmerizing Nile Cruise. The focal point of this image is the magnificent dahabieh Alice, a houseboat that also served as a vessel for unforgettable cruises along the Nile. The wood engraving showcases the exterior of this remarkable sailing ship, highlighting its intricate design and craftsmanship. Its elegant structure stands tall against the backdrop of North African beauty, symbolizing both luxury and adventure. Passengers aboard the dahabieh Alice were transported into a world filled with wonder and exploration. This maritime marvel provided an enchanting experience as it gracefully glided through the tranquil waters of one of Africa's most iconic rivers. The image captures not only a mode of transportation but also represents an era when travel became synonymous with discovery and cultural immersion. It serves as a testament to how tourism has evolved throughout history, leaving behind lasting impressions on all those fortunate enough to embark on such journeys. As we gaze upon this vintage masterpiece, we are reminded that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still something magical about retracing the footsteps of those who came before us – embracing their sense of wanderlust while creating our own timeless memories along the way.
