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
The Prince of Wales College, Morottos, Ceylon, 1891" is a captivating photograph taken by LK van Dort for "The Graphic," an illustrated weekly newspaper in England. The image depicts the exterior of the Prince of Wales College in Morattawa, Sri Lanka, during the Victorian era. The college, established through the philanthropy of Charles Henry de Soysa Dharmagunawardana Vipula Jayasuriya Karunaratna Disanayaka and his wife Catherine de Soysa, was a charitable institution aimed at providing quality education to the local Ceylonese population. The photograph showcases the grandeur of colonial architecture, with its imposing red-brick buildings adorned with intricate details. The college is nestled amidst lush greenery, with palm trees lining the road leading up to the entrance. The serene atmosphere is further accentuated by the tranquil surroundings, with the sun casting long shadows over the grounds. Charles Henry de Soysa, a prominent businessman and philanthropist, and his wife Catherine are seen in the photograph, dressed in Victorian attire, walking towards the college. The image captures the essence of the British Empire's influence on the country, with its colonial architecture, nature, and people. The photograph is a testament to the charitable efforts of the de Soysa family and their commitment to improving the lives of the local population through education. The image, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs of Sri Lanka and the British Empire. The intricate details of the buildings, the serene surroundings, and the presence of the de Soysa family make this photograph a fascinating glimpse into the past.
