17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

The image, part of the Boswell Collection, features the lower part of the tower with its three arched doorways and the tall, ornately carved column standing behind. The intricate details of the arches and the column are beautifully highlighted against the contrasting dark background. The Kutab, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a magnificent complex of monuments and structures, built during the Slave Dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate. The site is renowned for its architectural grandeur and historical significance. The intricate carvings and inscriptions on the sandstone and marble structures reflect the rich cultural heritage of India. The lantern slide, with slide numbers 4 and 32, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when India was under British rule.

The tall, ornately carved column behind the arched doorways adds to the grandeur of the structure, making it a standout feature of the complex.
