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, taken circa 1930, showcases the grandeur and modernity of the Grand Hotel in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Situated on the bustling Main Street, the hotel stands out as a beacon of elegance and sophistication against the backdrop of the developing city. The large, new building boasts an impressive facade with white walls, tall columns, and intricate architectural details. Balconies adorn the upper floors, offering guests a panoramic view of the bustling street below. The image is filled with a sense of the 1930s, an era of progress and innovation. Cars line the road in front of the hotel, their shiny hoods reflecting the sunlight. The presence of these vehicles underscores the modernity and convenience that the Grand Hotel provided to its guests. The Grand Hotel was more than just a place to rest one's head; it was a symbol of the prosperity and ambition of Southern Rhodesia during the 1930s. The thirties were a time of growth and development in Bulawayo, and the Grand Hotel was at the heart of it all. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history that speaks to the allure and charm of a bygone era.
