31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
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 showcases the tallest obelisk in Egypt, standing proudly within the temple at Karnak, Thebes. Taken in 1905 by Underwood & Underwood, this image captures the grandeur and magnificence of ancient Egyptian architecture. At a towering height of 97.5 feet and with a base measuring 8.5 feet square, this obelisk is hailed as the largest in all of Egypt. It was erected by Thutmosis' daughter Makere, also known as Hatshepsut or Hatasoo, adding to its historical significance. The photograph provides a detailed view of this remarkable structure through stereoscopic photography. As part of the series "Egypt Through the Stereoscope" curated by James H Breasted, it offers viewers an immersive experience that transports them back to ancient times. Intriguingly monochrome yet rich in detail, this image invites us to explore not only the physical aspects but also the religious and cultural significance associated with such temples. The debris scattered around serves as a reminder of time's passage and adds an element of authenticity to this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are reminded once again of Egypt's enduring allure and its profound impact on human civilization throughout centuries past.
