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
is a captivating photographic collection taken by Arnold Genthe in the early 1900s. This particular image showcases the stunning rural landscapes of Japan and Korea during this era, providing a glimpse into the agricultural heritage of these two countries. The photograph features a breathtaking panorama of rolling hills, terraced paddy fields, and verdant farmland. Genthe's masterful composition expertly balances the natural beauty of the landscape with the human element, as evidenced by the solitary scarecrow standing guard in the foreground. The intricate network of irrigation canals weaving through the rice paddies adds a sense of order and harmony to the scene. The image is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the farmers who cultivated these lands, transforming the rugged terrain into productive farmland. The hillside terraces, which were essential for managing the steep slopes and maximizing agricultural output, are a geographical feature unique to this region. This photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress. It offers a rare and valuable insight into the agricultural practices and geography of Japan and Korea during the early 20th century. The monochromatic palette of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a cherished piece of heritage art that continues to captivate viewers to this day.
