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 stunning print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the essence of ancient Egyptian religion and mythology. The image features Sobek, the crocodile-headed god who symbolizes the might of the pharaohs. Sobek's strength and swiftness are fitting attributes for a ruler of such a powerful civilization.
In Egyptian mythology, Sobek is often associated with Osiris, the god of the underworld, and is said to manifest in vegetation to signify renewal and rebirth. His presence in this print serves as a reminder of the deep connection between religion and nature in ancient Egypt.
The intricate details captured in this image showcase the rich history and symbolism behind each aspect of Egyptian culture. From hieroglyphics to elaborate headdresses, every element tells a story about the beliefs and practices that shaped this ancient society.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to a world where gods walked among mortals and pharaohs ruled with divine authority. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Egypt's religious traditions that continue to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
Mary Evans Prints Online has once again provided us with a window into another era, allowing us to explore the mysteries of Egypt through their vast collection of historical images.
