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 postcard, postmarked circa 1902, showcases the bustling cityscape of Essen, Germany. The image presents a panoramic view of the urban landscape, with an array of buildings and chimneys dominating the scene. The industrial city was renowned for its coal mining and steel production during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the presence of numerous chimneys belies the city's heavy reliance on industry. Amidst the industrial structures, several churches and their distinctive spires can be spotted, adding a touch of historical charm to the scene. The intricate details of the church architecture stand in stark contrast to the more utilitarian structures of the factories and mills. The skyline is filled with a hazy, smoky veil, a testament to the city's industrial might. Essen, located in the Ruhr region of Germany, was a thriving metropolis during this era. The city's growth was fueled by its rich coal deposits and the expansion of its steel industry. The postcard serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of Essen and its industrial heritage. The postcard's age and the patina on the image add to its allure, making it a valuable historical artifact. The intricate details of the buildings and the smoke rising from the chimneys transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the transformation of Essen from a small coal mining town to a major industrial hub.
