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 evocative photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of Government Buildings in Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa, circa 1910. The image, taken on Church Square, showcases the impressive neoclassical and baroque architectural style of the government complex, with its large columns, intricately carved pillars, and ornate balustrades. The front facade of the building is adorned with a clock tower, adding to its imposing presence. The lush green grass and pavement surrounding the buildings create a sense of tranquility, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city's busy streets. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the pavement, some stopping to admire the beauty of the fountain in the center of the square. The classical urn atop the fountain adds to the overall aesthetic, further emphasizing the European influence on the architectural landscape of Pretoria. The Government Buildings in Pretoria have stood as a symbol of power and authority in Transvaal since their construction, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the city was a bustling hub of activity in the early 1900s. The image is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of South Africa, and serves as a reminder of the architectural beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
