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 photograph captures the grandeur of Gordon Hall, the historic seat of British administration in Tientsin, China, around 1910. Named after General Charles Gordon, who played a pivotal role in planning the British concession in this bustling city, the building stands as a testament to the rich history of colonial rule in China during the early 1900s. Located in the heart of the British concession, Gordon Hall served as the hub of British political and diplomatic activities in Tientsin. Its imposing architecture, with its red-tiled roofs, ornate columns, and sprawling lawns, reflects the grandeur and power of the British Empire at its peak. The building's design is a blend of Western and Eastern influences, reflecting the cultural exchange that characterized the colonial era. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when Tientsin was a thriving international hub, attracting traders, diplomats, and travelers from around the world. The image also underscores the complex and intricate history of China's interactions with the Western world, a history marked by both cooperation and conflict. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the rich cultural and historical legacy of Tientsin and China, a legacy that continues to shape our world today. The image invites us to reflect on the complexities of colonialism, the intricacies of diplomacy, and the enduring power of architecture to tell stories of the past.
