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 titled "Egypte Egypt Le Caire pris de la Citadelle" transports us back in time to the bustling city of Cairo in 1877. Taken by the talented French photographer Felix Bonfils, this tinted albumen silver print captures a panoramic view of the city from the vantage point of the historic Citadelle. The image showcases the architectural wonders and vibrant life that characterized Cairo during this period. The intricate minarets and domes of mosques rise majestically against a clear blue sky, while narrow streets wind their way through clusters of traditional buildings. The hustle and bustle of daily life can be seen in the figures going about their activities below, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene. Bonfils' meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph, from its composition to its rich tonal range. The delicate tinting adds an ethereal quality, enhancing our experience as viewers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alais, France-based Bonfils' collection, we are transported not only geographically but also emotionally. It serves as a reminder that photography has always been a powerful medium for capturing moments frozen in time – allowing us to explore different cultures and eras with just one glance at an exquisite image like this one.
