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.

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 captures the essence of Villegangrios Street, nestled within the ancient town of Mdina in Malta. As the oldest settlement on the island, Mdina holds a rich history dating back to 1000 BC when it was fortified by the Phoenicians. Once serving as the site of Roman Governors' palace, this enchanting street stands as a testament to its illustrious past. The baroque architecture adorning both sides of Villegangrios Street is truly awe-inspiring. The intricate details and vibrant colors of these buildings pay homage to Malta's Christian heritage and religious devotion. A magnificent bell tower proudly rises above, adding an air of grandeur to this picturesque scene. Walking along this charming lane takes you on a journey through time, immersing you in Maltese culture and tradition. Every step reveals glimpses into centuries-old stories that have shaped this city's identity.
