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
1. Title: "The Majestic Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul: A Grand Legacy of the Ottoman Empire" The captivating image before you showcases the breathtaking Dolmabahce Palace, located in the heart of Istanbul, Turkey. Commissioned by Sultan Abdul Mecit (r. 1839-1861), this architectural marvel was designed by the father-son duo of Nikogos Balyan, with construction completed in 1853. The palace, a striking blend of European and Ottoman architectural influences, boasts a vast throne room at its core, flanked by two lower wings. The throne room's grandeur is accentuated by the crystal staircase and the alabaster bathroom, both of which are testament to the opulence of the era. The palace, originally built as a summer residence for the Ottoman sultans, was later used as the residence of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. Today, it serves as a symbol of Turkey's rich history and cultural heritage, and is occasionally used to host official visitors. The Dolmabahce Palace, also known as Dolma Bahçe or Dolmabahçe Sarayi in Turkish, is situated on the European side of Istanbul, overlooking the Bosphorus Strait. Its location on the shores of the Bosphorus, with its stunning views of the water and the city skyline, adds to its allure. This postcard, depicting the palace in its glory during the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence. The Dolmabahce Palace stands as a testament to the architectural prowess and the cultural richness of the Ottoman Empire.
