23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 captures the Italpan Occupation of Massowah, a historic moment in the Red Sea. The image showcases a stunning view of the town, Massawa (also known as Mitsiwa or Badi), situated on the coast of Eritrea. Engraved in 1885 using an illustrative technique, this engraving transports us back to the 19th century Victorian era. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship evident in this vintage artwork truly bring history to life. The retro style adds a touch of nostalgia, making it even more intriguing for art and culture enthusiasts. Massowah's significance during the Italpan Occupation cannot be overstated. This engraving provides a glimpse into that period when Italy occupied this strategic port city along the Red Sea coast. It serves as a reminder of how historical events shape our world today. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection's archives, we are transported to another time and place. We can almost feel ourselves standing on those streets, surrounded by bustling activity and witnessing firsthand the impact of colonization.
