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 evocative photograph captures a significant moment in international relations between Japan and Britain during the early 20th century. Taken on October 16, 1905, the image shows two young boys, one Japanese and one British, extending their hands in a gesture of friendship and unity. Each boy proudly holds aloft his national flag, the Japanese flag featuring the iconic rising sun, and the British flag adorned with the Union Jack. The boys' youthful innocence and earnest expressions add a poignant touch to the scene, symbolizing the hope for a peaceful and harmonious future between their nations. The Japanese boy wears a traditional sailor suit, while the British boy dons a navy blue suit, reflecting the naval significance of the Entente Cordiale, a treaty of alliance signed between the two countries earlier that year. The Entente Cordiale marked a turning point in Anglo-Japanese relations, bringing an end to decades of tension and competition between the two powers. The treaty established a new understanding between the two nations, paving the way for increased cooperation and mutual respect. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of diplomacy and the potential for positive relationships between different nations, even in the face of historical tensions and conflicts.
