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 19th-century print depicts Kazan Province in Russia as it appeared in 1856. The image on the front showcases the rich tapestry of this region, with its diverse landscape ranging from rolling farmlands and fields to the majestic Volga River and the towering mountains in the distance. The bustling cities of Kazan and Sviyazhsk can be seen in the foreground, their architectural wonders reflecting the blending of Russian and Tatar influences. The back of this souvenir card, part of a set of 82 illustrations representing each province of the Russian Empire, offers a wealth of information about Kazan Province. A detailed map of the region is accompanied by the provincial seal, population statistics, and a depiction of the traditional local costume. The economy of Kazan Province was characterized by a thriving lumber industry, with timber being a major export. Agriculture, fishing, and the postal service also played significant roles in the region's development. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the meeting of frontiers and the complex interplay of culture, history, and industry that defined Kazan Province during the 1850s. The intricate details of the illustration, from the beehives in the countryside to the lettering on the buildings, serve as a testament to the artistic skill of the unknown artist. This memento, now preserved in the National Library of Russia, stands as a valuable reminder of the rich heritage and history of Kazan Province and the Russian Empire as a whole.
