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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in international diplomacy as King Fuad I of Egypt embarks on an official three-week visit to Great Britain in the summer of 1927. Accompanied by his son, Crown Prince Ahmed Fuad, King Fuad is seen here in an open carriage with his gracious host, King George V, en route from Victoria Station to Buckingham Palace in London on July 4, 1927. The two monarchs exchange warm smiles and friendly gestures, symbolizing the strengthening relationship between their nations. King Fuad's visit marked a significant turning point in Egypt's modern history, as the country was under British occupation at the time. The journey to London was intended to demonstrate Egypt's sovereignty and independence, as well as to discuss various diplomatic matters with the British government. The warm welcome extended to King Fuad and his delegation was a testament to the mutual respect and understanding between the two nations. The image of the two kings in an open carriage, surrounded by the vibrant energy of the London crowd, evokes a sense of grandeur and majesty. The elegant attire of the monarchs and their entourage, the pristine condition of the carriage, and the backdrop of the iconic Victoria Station and Buckingham Palace add to the regal atmosphere of the scene. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of diplomacy and cultural exchange between Egypt and Great Britain, as well as the enduring allure of royal ceremonies and traditions. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this momentous occasion.
