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 photo print, titled "Temple of Edfu, 1867" takes us back to the ancient wonders of Egypt. Created by the talented Gustave Le Gray in the 19th century, this albumen silver print captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of the Temple of Edfu. Located in Apollinopolis Magna (modern-day Edfu), this archaeological site stands as a testament to Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage. The temple is dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god associated with kingship and protection. Le Gray's composition skillfully showcases the temple's impressive scale and intricate design. The towering columns rise majestically against a backdrop of clear skies, emphasizing their timeless elegance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a different era - one where religion played an integral role in society and magnificent structures like these were built as sacred spaces for worship. The photographer expertly captures not only the physicality but also evokes a sense of spirituality through his lens. We see people exploring this tourist attraction; their presence adds depth to our understanding of how ancient sites continue to captivate modern visitors. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, Le Gray's photograph serves as a visual bridge between past and present – reminding us that even centuries later, these awe-inspiring monuments still hold immense power over our imagination.
