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
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the docks of Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, Central America, circa 1905. The view showcases the vibrant coastal scene with the ocean's gentle waves lapping against the quayside. The image is filled with a sense of industry and commerce as various boats and steamers are moored, their rigging and ropes taut against the backdrop of the picturesque harbor. The quayside is bustling with workers handling sacks of cargo, their backs bent as they load and unload the ships. In the foreground, a favorita steamer, one of many that graced the waters of the Caribbean Sea during the early 1900s, is docked, its smokestacks belching out plumes of steam. The ships' masts, rigging, and sails create a beautiful contrast against the clear blue sky. Puerto Cabello, located on the central coast of Venezuela, was an essential port city during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It served as a crucial hub for the transportation of goods between South and Central America and the rest of the world. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich maritime history of this region and the vital role it played in the economic and cultural exchange between continents.
