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 in the 1930s, showcases the breathtaking Karnak Temple Complex in Egypt, specifically the Great Temple of Amun Re. The temple, a testament to ancient Egyptian civilization and its rich history, is located in Thebes, the ancient capital city of Egypt. Dedicated to the god Amun, the temple is a monumental representation of the religious and political power of the Pharaohs. The Great Temple of Amun Re is the largest temple in the complex and is considered one of the largest religious buildings ever constructed. It was built over a period of more than 2,000 years, with the earliest structures dating back to the Middle Kingdom, around 2055 BC. The temple was expanded and modified throughout the New Kingdom, with significant additions made during the reign of Pharaoh Senusret I. The temple complex is surrounded by a vast sacred lake, which was used for various religious rituals and ceremonies. The lake was believed to be the source of the sacred waters that were used to purify the temple and its inhabitants. The lake was also a vital source of water for the surrounding area, making it an essential part of the temple complex. The Karnak Temple Complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the gods were believed to be present in every aspect of daily life. The intricate carvings, towering columns, and grand scale of the temple complex continue to inspire awe and wonder, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in history and ancient civilizations.
