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.

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, taken circa 1907, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of The Casbah in Algiers, Algeria. The Casbah, meaning citadel or fortress in Arabic, refers specifically to the historic quarter clustered around the hillside fortress of the same name. The densely developed area, as seen in this image, is a testament to the unique and intricate urban planning of the past. The houses and buildings in this traditional quarter were constructed on steep, winding streets that cling to the hillside, creating a labyrinthine network of narrow alleys and hidden courtyards. The architectural styles reflect the diverse influences of the region's history, with European, Arab, and Ottoman elements blending harmoniously. The Casbah has been an integral part of Algiers' history for centuries, serving as a fortress, a residential area, and a center of commerce and culture. Its strategic location on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea made it an important defensive position, and its proximity to the port ensured its role as a bustling commercial hub. Despite the passage of time and the challenges of modernization, The Casbah remains a cherished symbol of Algerian heritage and a popular tourist destination. Visitors are drawn to its unique architecture, vibrant markets, and the opportunity to explore the winding streets and hidden corners that reveal the secrets of this historic quarter. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring allure and rich history of The Casbah in Algiers, a place where the past and present come together in a stunning display of cultural diversity and resilience.
