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
This photograph, taken in the year 1913, depicts the steamship Angara in service on the shores of Lake Baikal, Russia. Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world by volume, is located in Eastern Siberia and has been an essential transportation hub for the region since ancient times. The Angara, named after the Angara River that flows into the lake, was a significant addition to the lake's transportation network. The Angara was a steam-powered passenger and cargo vessel, designed to navigate the unique conditions of Lake Baikal. The lake's unique geology and climate presented challenges for transportation, including extreme temperatures and the presence of ice for much of the year. The Angara was built to overcome these challenges, with a robust design and advanced steam engine technology that allowed it to operate year-round. In this photograph, we see the Angara docked at a pier, with passengers and cargo being loaded onto the ship. The crew members, dressed in heavy coats and hats, work diligently to prepare the vessel for departure. The steam stack at the back of the ship billows smoke into the crisp Siberian air. The surrounding landscape is covered in snow, with the frozen lake stretching out behind the ship. This photograph is an intriguing glimpse into the history of transportation on Lake Baikal, and the vital role that vessels like the Angara played in connecting the people and communities of Eastern Siberia. The Angara's legacy continues to be felt today, as modern transportation methods build upon the foundation laid by steamships like this one over a century ago.
