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 captures the juxtaposition of ancient and modern in Algeria's Cherchell. The image showcases the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, now repurposed as a football ground. Taken in December 2007 by EMD/Then and Now Images/Heritage Images, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of this North African city. The amphitheatre stands proudly amidst its surroundings, with its weathered stone walls telling tales of centuries past. Its grandeur is beautifully contrasted against the vibrant green grass that now covers what was once an arena for gladiatorial combat and entertainment. Cherchell itself exudes an air of mystery, with Arabic influences blending seamlessly with remnants of its Roman heritage. This photograph perfectly encapsulates this unique fusion, showcasing both the ancient ruins and the bustling modern cityscape beyond. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported back in time to when roaring crowds filled these very seats to witness epic battles unfold before their eyes. Yet simultaneously, we are reminded that history is not confined to dusty books but lives on through adaptation and evolution. Through this lens, we gain a deeper appreciation for Algeria's cultural tapestry – where old meets new and tradition intertwines with progress. It serves as a testament to our collective human story: one that embraces change while honoring our roots. In cherishing images like these from Heritage Images' collection, we preserve not only moments frozen in time but also celebrate the enduring spirit of civilizations long gone
