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
A Car on Lumley Beach, Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa (circa 1920s) - This photograph depicts an early automobile, its tires sinking into the golden sands of Lumley Beach in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The image, taken in the 1920s, transports us back in time to an era when the exotic allure of automobiles was still a novelty in this West African country. The car, with its distinctive design and elegant curves, stands out against the vast expanse of the sandy beach and the clear blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the background. The vehicle's tracks, etched into the sand, serve as a testament to the adventurous spirit of its driver, who dared to venture off the beaten path. The image also offers a glimpse into the rich history of Freetown, a vibrant city that has long been a melting pot of cultures and traditions. Today, Lumley Beach remains a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea and the open road, and the sense of freedom and discovery that comes with them.
