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 photograph captures the timeless beauty and haunting allure of the Temple of Venus in Pompeii, Italy. Dating back to ancient times, this temple stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels of the Roman Empire. The image transports us to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past through its meticulously preserved ruins. The weathered columns and crumbling staircase evoke a sense of both grandeur and decay, reminding us of the passage of time. At the heart of this sacred site once stood an altar dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty in Greco-Roman mythology. It is easy to imagine worshippers ascending these very steps with offerings in hand, seeking blessings from their beloved deity. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1900, we are reminded that even after centuries have passed since its destruction by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii continues to captivate our imagination. Its archaeological treasures serve as windows into an ancient world that was abruptly frozen in time. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of Pompeii's historical significance but also its enduring legacy. It invites us to reflect on humanity's eternal fascination with mythology, architecture, and our collective yearning for connection with something greater than ourselves.
