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.

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 captures the grandeur and mystery of the ancient Roman colonial town of Timgad, located in the Aures Mountains of Algeria. Founded around AD 100 by the Emperor Trajan, Timgad was a thriving Roman settlement that flourished for several centuries. The town, which was named after the Numidian king Timgad, was strategically situated along the military road that connected Carthage to the interior of North Africa. The ruins of Timgad, as seen in this image, include the impressive Theatre, a magnificent structure that could once seat over 3,000 spectators. The theatre, with its well-preserved columns and intricately carved bases, is a testament to the Roman engineering and architectural prowess. The stage and seating areas are surrounded by the remnants of the town's streets, which offer a glimpse into the daily life of the Roman colonists who once lived here. The Byzantine and Roman influences are evident in the architecture of Timgad, which was an important cultural and economic center in the region. The town's strategic location in the Aures Mountains also made it a key military outpost, and it played a significant role in the defense of the Roman Empire against invading forces. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, provides a panoramic view of the ruins of Timgad, transporting us back in time to an era of imperial power and grandeur. The image captures the sense of wonder and discovery that comes with exploring the rich history of this fascinating town, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
