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.

1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The Barrancho River Valley, Gran Canaria (1906)" The photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of the Barrancho River Valley on the island of Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands located in the Atlantic Ocean. This image, taken in the year 1906, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and natural wonders of this Spanish territory. Gran Canaria, the second largest of the Canary Islands, is renowned for its diverse landscapes, from sandy beaches to rugged mountains. The Barrancho River Valley, nestled in the central part of the island, is a testament to the island's unique geography and the forces of nature that shaped it over centuries. The photograph reveals a lush, verdant valley, with the Barrancho River meandering through it, creating a serene and picturesque scene. The valley's fertile soil has long been cultivated by the island's inhabitants, who have made their living from agriculture and livestock rearing. The terraced fields, visible in the photograph, are a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the people who have lived in this region for generations. The Canary Islands, a Spanish territory since the late 15th century, have a rich and complex history. The islands were first inhabited by the Guanches, an indigenous people whose culture was influenced by both African and European influences. The arrival of the Spanish in the late 15th century brought about significant changes to the islands, including the introduction of Christianity and the establishment of a colonial administration. Despite the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place on Gran Canaria and in the Barrancho River Valley, this photograph serves as a reminder of the island's rich history and natural beauty. It invites us to reflect on the past and to appreciate the unique character of this fascinating place.
