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
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a bygone era in Dera Ghazi Khan, Punjaub, India in 1889. The image beautifully captures the essence of a day's hawking, an ancient sport that has been practiced for centuries. The scene unfolds with breathtaking grace as a majestic Saker Falcon takes center stage. With its powerful wingspan and keen eyesight, it effortlessly soars through the sky, showcasing its incredible hunting prowess. In a display of pure skill and precision, the falcon has successfully captured a kite mid-flight. Surrounding this awe-inspiring spectacle is the vibrant landscape of Punjaub. The lush green fields stretch out endlessly under an azure sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. A sense of tranquility pervades the air as local villagers gather to witness this extraordinary event. This photograph not only immortalizes a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India. Hawking was not merely a sport but also served as an important means of sustenance for many communities during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help but feel connected to history and appreciate the harmony between man and nature that existed in those days gone by. It serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece that reminds us of our shared human experiences across time and place.
