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
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art, the Black-Figure Kylix. Created in Sparta, Greece around 540 B. C. , this terracotta object is attributed to the talented Hunt Painter, a renowned artist from Lakonia who was active between 565 and 530 B. C. The kylix itself is a shallow drinking cup with two handles, measuring approximately 8.8 cm in height and boasting an impressive width of 17 cm including its handles. The diameter of the bowl reaches about 11.7 cm. The black-figure technique used on this kylix is characteristic of ancient Greek pottery during this period. It involves painting figures using black glaze against a reddish background, creating striking contrasts that bring the scenes to life. While we cannot delve into commercial use here, it's important to appreciate the historical significance and artistic mastery behind this exquisite artifact. The intricate details depicted by the Hunt Painter transport us back in time to ancient Sparta, offering glimpses into their culture and mythology. This print serves as both a visual delight and an educational tool for those fascinated by classical antiquity or anyone seeking to explore the rich heritage of Greece and Europe as a whole.
