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
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, specifically to the city of Alexandria. The image showcases the magnificent Pompey's Pillar, a towering monument that has stood for centuries as a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of this ancient civilization. Captured by Felix Bonfils, a renowned French photographer known for his exceptional skill in capturing landscapes and historical sites, this tinted albumen silver print transports us to 1877 when it was taken. Bonfils' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph; from the intricate carvings on the column itself to the subtle hues added through tinting techniques. The Colonne Pompee, or Pompey's Pillar as it is commonly referred to in English, stands tall against an azure sky. Its imposing presence dominates the frame while simultaneously evoking a sense of awe and wonder at its sheer size and beauty. This iconic landmark serves as a reminder of Egypt's rich history and cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded that photography not only captures moments frozen in time but also allows us to travel through history without leaving our present surroundings. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate and celebrate humanity's past achievements while marveling at their enduring legacy.
