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 1920, showcases the iconic Howrah Bridge spanning the River Hooghly in Calcutta (now Kolkata), India during the British colonial era. The bridge, an engineering marvel of the time, connects the Howrah and Calcutta districts on either side of the river. The iron pontoon bridge, with its intricate ironwork and imposing structure, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and architectural prowess of the British Raj. The bustling scene on the bridge and the surrounding areas reveals a vibrant and diverse population. Pedestrians, dressed in traditional Indian attire, walk along the pavement, while oxen and carts laden with goods make their way across the bridge. The traffic on the road below is a chaotic blend of horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, and automobiles. The River Hooghly, a major waterway, flows calmly beneath the bridge, reflecting the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The buildings on the banks of the river, with their colonial architecture and red-tiled roofs, add to the picturesque setting. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of life in Calcutta during the 1920s. The blend of cultures, the bustling activity, and the architectural grandeur make it an intriguing and captivating image that continues to fascinate viewers even today.
