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.

Church Street at Night, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa, Illuminated for a Visit from Edward, Prince of Wales, 20 June 1925 This evocative photograph captures Church Street in Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa, bathed in the soft glow of night-time illumination. The date of this image is significant: 20 June 1925, when the city was aglow with anticipation for the imminent arrival of His Royal Highness, Edward, Prince of Wales. The buildings along the street, their facades adorned with the elegant architecture of the 1920s, stand proudly against the darkened sky. The stores and shops, their windows displaying an array of goods, add to the vibrant atmosphere. The street itself is a hive of activity, with the occasional car or horse-drawn carriage passing by, leaving trails of light in their wake. One particular building catches the eye: Robert Hamilton, the renowned outfitter, proudly displays a banner bearing the insignia of the Prince of Wales' feathers. The illumination of the building is a testament to the excitement and pride felt by the people of Pretoria as they prepared to welcome the esteemed royal guest. The night sky, dotted with stars, serves as a backdrop to this scene of urban life in the heart of South Africa. The contrast between the dark and the light, the old and the new, creates a captivating image that transports us back to the 1920s, a time of change and wonder in the history of this beautiful city.
