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.

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
Cloaca Maxima: The Ancient Engineered Marvel of Rome's Waste Management System This photograph showcases the entrance to Rome's ancient sewer system, Cloaca Maxima, a remarkable engineering feat dating back to around 600 BC. Commissioned by the legendary king of Rome, Tarquinius Priscus, this sewer system was the city's first attempt to manage its growing sanitation needs. Initially, the Cloaca Maxima was designed to drain excess rainwater from the city, but it soon evolved into a more comprehensive sewage system. The Tiber River, visible in the background, played a crucial role in the system's operation. Rainwater and waste were carried through an intricate network of channels and chambers, eventually emptying into the Tiber. The Cloaca Maxima, translated as 'the greatest sewer,' is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of ancient Roman engineers. This public work was a vital component of Rome's infrastructure, enabling the city to grow and thrive, even as its population expanded. The historical significance of the Cloaca Maxima is evident in its continued existence today. Although much of the original system has been replaced, sections of the ancient sewer can still be seen and explored, offering visitors a glimpse into Rome's rich history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Roman engineering and the importance of effective waste management in the development of civilizations.
