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.

Travel Views of Japan and Korea,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photographic series by Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing intriguing glimpses of these rich and culturally significant Asian countries. This collection, produced in 1908, is a testament to Genthe's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of his travels. The black-and-white images in this series are a stunning contrast to the vibrant colors of modern-day Japan and Korea. Each photograph is a nitrate negative, adding to their historical value and rarity. The collection includes various scenes, from bustling marketplaces and serene landscapes to intricately carved wooden structures and mythological creatures. One particularly striking image features a hand-carved wooden sculpture of a mythical beast, its details so intricately rendered that it seems to leap off the page. Another photograph showcases a carved wooden panel, adorned with intricate patterns and designs, hinting at the deep-rooted artistic heritage of Japan and Korea. These images, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, offer a unique perspective on the travel experiences of the early 20th century. They invite us to explore the mythology, history, and artistry of these two countries, providing a glimpse into a time when the world was still a fascinating and largely unexplored mystery. Genthe's "Travel Views of Japan and Korea" serve as a reminder of the power of photography to transport us to new places, to broaden our horizons, and to deepen our understanding of the world and its diverse cultures. These images are not just historical artifacts, but rather, they are a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the beauty and wonder of Japan and Korea a century ago.
