Archae Archaeologists Discover Fin D Grave Robbed Robbers Tomb Treasures 1923
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 print from Mary Evans Picture Library takes us back to 1923, when archaeologists made a groundbreaking discovery in Egypt. As they uncovered an ancient tomb, their excitement quickly turned to disappointment as they realized that grave-robbers had beaten them to it. The scene is one of both wonder and frustration, as the archaeologists survey the remnants of what was once a treasure trove of historical artifacts.
The image captures the harsh reality faced by many archaeologists throughout history - the constant threat of looters seeking to profit from valuable relics at the expense of preserving our shared heritage. Despite their best efforts to protect these sites, it seems that greed often triumphs over preservation.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the delicate balance between exploration and exploitation in the field of archaeology. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of safeguarding our past for future generations to learn from and appreciate.
Through this powerful visual narrative, Mary Evans Prints Online invites us to reflect on the challenges faced by those who dedicate their lives to uncovering and preserving our collective history. This image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and human folly, leaving us with a sense of awe at the mysteries waiting to be unearthed beneath our feet.
