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.

Canal de Suez; Le Nord-Est Africain, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving depicting the Suez Canal in its early 20th century glory. The image, created in 1914 and published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases the strategic waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, significantly reducing the shipping route between Europe and Asia. The print offers a bird's-eye view of the canal, with its northern eastern section in focus. The engineering marvel, a brainchild of Ferdinand Marie Vicomte de Lesseps, is evident in the meticulously constructed locks and the uninterrupted flow of water, connecting Egypt and Africa. The Suez Canal, an industrial and transportation achievement, was a short cut for the shipping industry, revolutionizing the way goods were transported between continents. The print captures the significance of this route, which brought Egypt and North Africa to the global stage, positioning them as crucial players in the international trade scene. Ferdinand Marie Vicomte de Lesseps, a French diplomat and entrepreneur, initiated the Suez Canal project in the 19th century, and it took over ten years to complete. The accomplishment of this monumental task is a testament to human ingenuity and the power of perseverance. The engraving, with its intricate details and precise shading, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Suez Canal represented a new era in global transportation and connectivity. The print is a valuable addition to any collection, providing a historical perspective on the Suez Canal's role in shaping the world's transportation landscape.
