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
In this evocative postcard image, we are transported back in time to the bustling fig factories of Izmir, Turkey, once known as Smyrna, during the late Ottoman Empire era. The scene unfolds in a vast, sun-drenched warehouse, where the scale of the fig industry comes to life through an intricate choreography of workers and wicker baskets. The figs, ripe and plump, are meticulously arranged on trays and baskets, their natural sweetness and allure evident even in this photograph. The workers, both men and women, are deeply focused on their task, their expressions reflecting the social history and community spirit that characterized the Ottoman Empire's labor force. The manager, standing at the forefront, oversees the operation with a watchful eye, ensuring the smooth running of the factory. The figs, once dried, would be exported to various parts of the world, contributing significantly to Izmir's economy and reputation as a hub for fig production. The architectural details of the warehouse, with its high ceilings and large windows, speak to the industrial prowess of the Ottoman Empire, which was known for its advanced infrastructure and trade networks. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Izmir and its fig industry, a testament to the region's enduring agricultural traditions. This postcard, with its captivating scene, offers a unique window into the past, inviting us to appreciate the social, historical, and cultural significance of the fig industry in Izmir during the Ottoman Empire.
