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.

Mauritius - Port Louis - General Railway Station (circa 1909): A Glimpse into the Past of Transportation in Mauritius This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at the General Railway Station in Port Louis, Mauritius, during the early 1900s. The image transports us back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of transportation on this beautiful Indian Ocean island nation. The station, a grand architectural marvel of the colonial era, stands proudly in the background. Its red-tiled roof, ornate arches, and intricate stonework reflect the European influence that shaped Mauritian architecture during this period. The station's name, "General Railway Station," is inscribed prominently on the facade, a testament to its central role in the transportation network of the island. The platform teems with activity. Passengers, dressed in the fashion of the time, mill about, some waiting for their trains while others board the iron beasts that symbolize progress and connectivity. The steam trains, with their billowing smoke and hissing sounds, are a sight to behold. They represent the lifeline of the island, linking Port Louis to other parts of Mauritius and facilitating the movement of people and goods. The photograph also reveals the vibrant multicultural fabric of Mauritian society. People of various ethnicities and backgrounds are present, reflecting the rich tapestry of communities that make up this diverse island nation. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, showcasing the evolution of transportation in Mauritius from the colonial era to the present day. It invites us to appreciate the history and cultural heritage that continues to shape this remarkable Indian Ocean island.
