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 captures the awe-inspiring natural wonder of The Bore on the River Tsien-Tang-Kiang in China. Taken circa 1890, this image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the raw power and beauty of this geological phenomenon. The Bore, also known as the Tsien-Tang Rapids, is a series of powerful rapids and whirlpools located near the eastern end of the Grand Canal in China. Formed by the convergence of the Yangtze and Tsien-Tang rivers, the Bore is a result of the dramatic change in water levels as the river flows over a shallow, rocky section of the riverbed. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse of the untamed river before the construction of the Hongqiang Dam in 1952, which tamed the rapids and transformed the area into a popular tourist destination. The image reveals the turbulent waters, with white foam and spray flying high into the air, creating a breathtaking scene. The Chinese people have long been fascinated by The Bore, with many legends and stories surrounding its power and significance. This photograph serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that once existed in China and the rich history that continues to shape the country today. The intricate details of the photograph, from the ripples on the water to the trees lining the riverbank, transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the past. This image is a testament to the beauty and power of nature and the importance of preserving our history for future generations to enjoy.
