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 showcases the beauty and charm of Cairo's historic architecture. The image captures a house called Beyt El-Emyr, which may appear slightly dilapidated but still exudes an undeniable allure. Published in 1877 as a chromolithograph, this print is part of "L'Art Arabe d'après les Monuments de Kaire" a collection that celebrates Islamic art, architecture, woodwork, tiling, interiors, furniture, and more. The focal point of the photograph is an exquisite example of a Moucharabyeh or Mashrabiya – an architectural element synonymous with Arabic residences. This particular feature is a type of projecting oriel window enclosed with intricately carved wood latticework. As we gaze upon the scene captured by Emile Prisse d'Avennes – French archaeologist and Egyptologist – we see a woman leaning out from one such window. Her presence adds life to the composition as she gazes downward into the bustling streets below. The geometric designs adorning the Mashrabiya create mesmerizing patterns that enhance its aesthetic appeal while reflecting traditional Islamic motifs. This print not only offers us glimpses into Cairo's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a testament to Prisse d'Avennes' passion for documenting historical monuments across North Africa. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind these architectural wonders and their significance within Muslim culture.
