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 photo print, titled "[Kitchen and Stables of Government House, Calcutta], 1858-61" takes us back to the British Raj era in India. Captured by the talented photographer John Constantine Stanley during the late 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases a remarkable scene from Kolkata's historic Government House. The image portrays the grandeur of British imperialism as it depicts the exterior view of the kitchen and stables within Government House. The imposing architecture stands tall against the landscape of Calcutta, symbolizing Britain's dominance over its Indian colony. The meticulous details captured in this photograph highlight both the opulence and functionality of these essential structures. As we gaze at this piece from Heritage Art collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported to an era where power dynamics were palpable. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of India's colonial past under British rule and invites contemplation on themes such as heritage preservation, cultural exchange, and historical narratives. John Constantine Stanley's expertise behind the lens is evident in his ability to capture not only architectural beauty but also evoke emotions through his photography. Through this image, he immortalizes a significant period in history that continues to shape our understanding of nations' relationships today.
