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 image showcases the ruins of the Kronion thermae, or Temple Baths of Aesculapius and Hygieia, located in the ancient sanctuary of Olympia, Greece. Dating back to the 2nd century BCE and the 5th century A.D., these thermal baths represent a remarkable fusion of Greek architectural styles and cultural practices from different historical periods. The Kronion thermae were an integral part of the sanctuary complex, dedicated to the worship of the healing gods Aesculapius and Hygieia. The baths were believed to possess therapeutic properties, attracting pilgrims from all over the ancient world in search of cures for various ailments. The ruins depicted in this photograph reveal the intricate design and craftsmanship of the ancient Greek architects. The thermal baths featured a series of interconnected rooms, including cold, warm, and hot baths, as well as various pools and saunas. The complex was also adorned with sculptures and mosaics, many of which have been lost to time. The Kronion thermae are a testament to the advanced knowledge and sophistication of ancient Greek culture, particularly in the areas of hygiene, architecture, and engineering. The ruins continue to captivate scholars and visitors alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the ancient world.
