31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 aerial print showcases the ancient city of Babylon, located in Hillah, Babil Governorate, Iraq. The extensive remains of this historical site are beautifully captured from above, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into its rich past. Dating back to the 23rd century BCE and serving as the capital for multiple empires, Babylon flourished until the Hellenistic era. The photograph allows us to appreciate the grandeur and scale of this once-thriving metropolis. Nestled beside the mighty Euphrates River, Babylon's architectural marvels and intricate city planning are evident even from this bird's-eye perspective. From towering ziggurats to sprawling palaces and bustling markets, it is clear that Babylon was a hub of civilization during its heyday. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be transported back in time; imagining what life must have been like within these ancient walls. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's enduring quest for knowledge and progress throughout history.
