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.

This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and intrigue of The Lambert Artillery Barracks in Bizerte, Tunisia during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time to the French colonial era in North Africa, showcasing the military might and architectural sophistication of the French occupation. The Lambert Artillery Barracks, named after Marshal Albert Lambert, was a significant military installation during the colonial period. The barracks housed the artillery regiments of the French colonial army, responsible for maintaining law and order and defending the French protectorate in Tunisia. The photograph reveals the imposing entrance to the barracks, with its tall, wrought-iron gates adorned with intricate designs and the French tricolor flag flying proudly atop the guardhouse. The barracks' architecture is a fusion of European and North African styles, with red-tiled roofs, arched windows, and ornate stonework. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a clear blue sky, adding to the serene and picturesque atmosphere. Soldiers in uniform can be seen milling about, while others are engaged in various military drills. The presence of guns and ammunition nearby serves as a reminder of the barracks' military function. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of Bizerte and Tunisia during the French colonial era.
