FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 transports us to the bustling streets of ancient Egypt in the 1930s. In this snapshot, an Egyptian snake charmer proudly displays his trade beside the majestic Avenue of Sphinxes at the Temple of Karnak in Thebes. The Temple of Karnak, a magnificent complex near Luxor, holds great historical significance as it was built during the Middle Kingdom and continued to be expanded until the Ptolemaic period. The Avenue of Sphinxes served as a ceremonial route connecting Luxor and Karnak temples, witnessing countless processions throughout history. In this image, we see a lone figure immersed in his occupation. With hand raised in a commanding gesture, he captivates both locals and tourists alike with his mesmerizing skills. His job as an animal trainer requires immense patience and expertise as he tames these reptiles for entertainment purposes. Surrounded by breathtaking architecture and steeped in religious symbolism, this scene encapsulates the rich cultural heritage that thrived within ancient Egypt. As we gaze upon this portrait from "Tour of the World" captured by an unknown photographer affiliated with Keystone View Company, we are transported back to a time when snake charmers were revered for their mystical abilities. Through this photograph's lens, we catch a glimpse into daily life along these historic roads where tradition meets modernity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grand structures like temples and sphinxes, it is often ordinary people who bring life to such extraordinary places.
