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
Emperors and Legends: The Great Wall of China in Ancient Times This image brings us back to the ancient world of China during the Fourth Tsin Dynasty, around 237 BC. The Great Wall of China, a marvel of human engineering and a testament to the rich history of China, is depicted in this photograph, taken from an 1840 print by Allom, held at Mary Evans Picture Library. The Great Wall, built by Emperor Chi-Hoang-Ti, the first universal monarch of China, stands as a symbol of the power and grandeur of the Chinese empire. Chi-Hoang-Ti, also known as Emperor Qin Shi Huang, was the first emperor of a unified China, having conquered the various warring states and established the Qin Dynasty. The Great Wall, stretching over 13,000 miles, was built primarily to protect China from invasions by nomadic tribes from the north. The construction of the wall began in 221 BC and took over 20 years to complete. It was not a continuous wall, but rather a series of walls and fortifications, with watchtowers, troop barracks, and signal systems, all designed to provide early warning of enemy attacks. This photograph, taken from an 1840 print, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the scene as it might have appeared during the time of Emperor Chi-Hoang-Ti. The rugged terrain, the winding wall, and the vast expanse of land beyond, all speak to the immense effort and determination that went into building this legendary structure. The Great Wall of China, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see destination for travelers from around the world, continues to inspire awe and wonder, reminding us of the rich history and cultural heritage of China.
