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
Boulaq, Cairo: A Vibrant and Historical Marketplace in Egypt's Capital City This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of Boulaq, a district in the heart of Cairo, Egypt. Nestled on the western banks of the Nile River, Boulaq is a historical neighborhood that borders Downtown Cairo, Azbakeya, and the iconic waterway. The name Boulaq, which means 'Nice Lake' in French, was arabised into Bolaq. The image showcases the lively marketplace, where merchants sell an array of goods, from textiles and spices to household items and agricultural produce. The scene is a feast for the senses, with the aroma of freshly baked bread and spices wafting through the air, the sounds of haggling and laughter filling the atmosphere, and the vibrant colors of the textiles and produce on display. In the foreground, a mule and horse rest, their weary bodies reflecting the long hours spent working in the market. Children play nearby, their laughter adding to the cacophony of sounds. The scene is a snapshot of daily life in this historic African marketplace. The market at Boulaq is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Egypt. Its proximity to the Nile River has made it an important trading hub since ancient times, and its vibrant energy continues to draw visitors from around the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past and the present, inviting us to explore the wonders of Egypt and its people.
