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 print captures a glimpse of the bustling Kilidini Road in Mombasa, Kenya, during the 1930s. The city, situated on the stunning shores of the Indian Ocean, is not only a major port but also the second-largest city in this East African country.
The scene depicted showcases a snapshot of colonial architecture and infrastructure that characterized this vibrant capital at that time. From the telegraph poles lining the street to the historical buildings dotting its landscape, every detail tells a story of Kenya's rich past.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where life moved at a different pace and where Mombasa was abuzz with activity and culture. The Kenyan street scene captured here is alive with energy and history, offering us a window into what life was like in this bustling African city decades ago.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online serves as a reminder of how far Mombasa has come since those early days while also honoring its heritage and legacy. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of this remarkable city and its people who have shaped it into what it is today.
