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 evocative photograph, titled "The Roof Tops of Aleppo," captures a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of the ancient city of Aleppo, Syria, as it appeared in 1880. The image, taken over a century ago, offers a unique perspective of the city's rooftops, adorned with traditional Middle Eastern houses and domes, nestled against the backdrop of the rugged Syrian terrain. Aleppo, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, has a complex and storied past, with influences from various civilizations, including the Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs, and Ottomans. The city's architectural heritage is a testament to this rich history, with its labyrinthine streets, grand mosques, and ancient citadels. The photograph, taken during the late Ottoman period, showcases the intricate details of Aleppo's rooftops, with their red-tiled roofs, ornate chimneys, and colorful terracotta tiles. The buildings, constructed from local materials such as mud bricks and limestone, are designed to withstand the harsh desert climate. The image also reveals the city's vibrant urban life, with people going about their daily routines, children playing, and animals grazing on the rooftops. Today, Aleppo, once known as the "Pearl of the East," is undergoing significant changes, with modernization and urbanization threatening its historic fabric. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the city's rich history and architectural heritage, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and inspiring a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty and resilience of this ancient city.
