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
Bailey Guard Gate: A Symbolic Reminder of Colonial Past in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India This evocative photograph captures the Bailey Guard Gate, the main entrance to the British Residency in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Dating back to circa 1910, the image offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of the region during the British colonial era. The gate, named after the British General Sir Henry Bailey, stands proudly with its grand archway, showcasing the intricate stonework that was once a symbol of imperial power and grandeur. However, a closer look reveals the signs of damage and destruction that mar the once magnificent structure. This damage is a poignant reminder of the Mutiny of 1857, a pivotal moment in Indian history when the indigenous population rose against the British East India Company's rule. The rebellion, also known as the Indian Uprising or the Sepoy Mutiny, resulted in widespread violence and destruction, including the attack on the British Residency in Lucknow. The Bailey Guard Gate, with its damaged stonework, serves as a powerful symbol of the colonial past and the complex relationship between the British and the people of India during that time. The image invites us to reflect on the historical significance of this site and the enduring impact of colonialism on the region.
