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
Travel Views of Japan and Korea," a captivating photographic series by Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the early 1900s. This collection, taken in 1908, showcases the unique beauty and cultural richness of Japan and Korea. Genthe's camera lens captures the essence of tranquility as we gaze upon a serene Japanese garden, where ornamental trees and plants create a symphony of colors and textures. The garden's peaceful atmosphere is further accentuated by the presence of a traditional Japanese bridge, its graceful design harmoniously blending with the natural surroundings. In contrast, we find ourselves in the bustling streets of Korea, where ancient structures and modern buildings coexist. A bridge, adorned with intricate ornamentation, spans the width of a river, connecting the past and the present. The religious significance of these countries is evident in the image of a shrine, nestled among the trees. The tranquil setting, with its white and black color palette, adds to the sense of spirituality and contemplation. This collection of travel views, captured on nitrate negatives, offers a glimpse into the heritage and art of Japan and Korea during the 20th century. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of photography invites us to explore the concept of tranquility and the unique cultural features that define these two countries. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. is fortunate to house this remarkable collection of Travel Views of Japan and Korea by Arnold Genthe, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of these two countries through the lens of a master photographer.
