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
Admiralty Pier, Dockyard, Cape Town, South Africa (circa 1908): A captivating glimpse into the past, this photograph captures the bustling activity at the Admiralty Pier in Cape Town, South Africa during the early 1900s. The pier, with its grand arched entrance and intricately designed railings, stretches out into the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The dockyard behind the pier is filled with a variety of ships and boats, each one a testament to the maritime industry that thrived in this coastal city. Sailors and workers can be seen busy at work, loading and unloading cargo from the ships, while others tend to the ropes and rigging. The pier's steps lead down to the water's edge, where people gather to watch the comings and goings of the ships. Children play in the shallow waters, their laughter carried on the breeze. The scene is one of industry and community, a microcosm of life in Cape Town during this era. The vibrant colors of the boats and the blue of the sea create a stunning contrast against the gray tones of the pier and the dockyard. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the sea was the lifeblood of commerce and communication, and Cape Town was a bustling hub of maritime activity.
