31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to the ancient city of Alexandria, where scholars are seen examining the scrolls of the legendary Library of Alexandria. This library was renowned as the greatest collection of knowledge in the ancient world, housing a vast array of texts and manuscripts that were considered invaluable to scholars and historians.
Tragically, this magnificent repository of knowledge met a devastating fate when it was burnt in 47 BC and ultimately destroyed by Moslem general Amrou on 22 December 640 AD. The loss of such a significant cultural treasure reverberated throughout history, leaving an indelible mark on our understanding of the past.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our historical heritage and safeguarding our collective wisdom for future generations. The sight of these dedicated scholars poring over ancient scrolls serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of knowledge and the profound impact that libraries have had on shaping human civilization.
Through this photo print, we are granted a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history - one that reminds us to cherish and protect our cultural legacy with vigilance and reverence.
