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 photograph captures a moment from The Prince of Wales' historic visit to Egypt in 1862. The future King Edward VII, dressed in formal attire, is seen leading a portion of his royal party as they depart from their encampment at Djizeh. The group, which includes European and Arab companions, makes its way towards the iconic Pyramids of Giza. The expedition, which left Cairo on March 4, was arranged by His Highness the Viceroy Said Pasha, who bid farewell to the Prince at the Palace of Djizeh. The Prince and his suite spent one night at the Pyramids before returning the following day. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1862, offers a fascinating glimpse into the geopolitical landscape of the 19th century. The Prince's visit to Egypt was a significant event in the context of international relations between Britain and Egypt, as well as the growing interest in archaeology and ancient civilizations. The photograph also showcases the diverse array of apparel and animals in the scene. European travelers, including the Prince, are dressed in fashionable clothing, while their Arab companions wear traditional garments. The party's mode of transportation includes camels, which were a common means of travel in the desert. This evocative image transports us back in time, offering a captivating glimpse into the past and the Prince's adventurous journey to the land of the Pharaohs.
