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
Step back in time with this stunning, vintage postcard depicting the enchanting city of Amiens, Picardy, France. The main image showcases the grandeur of La Prefecture, a historic building that has stood proudly as the administrative hub of the city since the late 19th century. With its intricate stonework, impressive gates, and ornate railings, La Prefecture is a true architectural marvel. The inset views offer a glimpse into the charming streets of Amiens, specifically Rue de Metz-Leveque.

This view remains virtually unchanged to this day, making it a beloved sight for visitors and locals alike. The second inset view invites us to explore the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Set against a lush, green background, the image showcases a street lined with red blossoms, adding a pop of color to the scene. A delicate spider web graces the foreground, adding a touch of whimsy and reminding us of the delicate balance of nature. This postcard, circa 1908, is a testament to the timeless allure of Amiens. The combination of history, art, and natural beauty makes it an attractive addition to any collection or a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate the elegance of the past.
