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
Captured in the late 19th century, this enchanting photograph portrays a group of Prussian bathers enjoying a sunny day at the Baltic Coastal Resort, believed to be in Sestroretsk, Russia. The idyllic scene showcases the leisurely pleasures of the era, with young women in elegant, flowing costumes and heart-shaped patterns, reclining on wicker beach chairs. The intricate details of their bathing suits, adorned with delicate lace and shells, reflect the romantic and artistic sensibilities of the time. The Prussian bathers are seen making the most of their day at the seaside, with the gentle waves of the Baltic Sea lapping at the shore in the background. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a young girl, who playfully scatters shells around, adding to the picturesque setting. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of late 19th century Prussian society, where the pursuit of leisure and relaxation was an essential aspect of everyday life. The natural beauty of the Baltic Coastal Resort, with its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, provided the perfect backdrop for these moments of joy and relaxation. As the sun casts a warm glow over the scene, the bathers seem to be lost in their own world, their hearts filled with the simple pleasures of life. This image not only transports us back in time but also reminds us of the timeless allure of the seaside and the enduring appeal of the romantic and artistic sensibilities of the late 19th century.
