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 the moment of the Sultans troops' arrival in Casablanca, Morocco, during a period of unrest in 1907. The image portrays a sense of anticipation and tension as the soldiers, mounted on horses, disembark from their boats and set foot on Moroccan soil. The boats, filled with troops and supplies, are anchored in the calm waters of the harbor, with the city's buildings and towering minarets visible in the background. The arrival of the Sultans troops was a significant event in Moroccan history, as it marked the beginning of the protectorate era, during which France and Spain gained control over the country. The troops were brought in to provide military protection and maintain order in the face of growing unrest among the local population. The people of Casablanca, who are gathered on the shore, watch the scene unfold with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural complexity of Morocco during the early 1900s and the profound impact of European colonialism on the region.
