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.

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
A Street Scene in Cairo" is a captivating and evocative photograph by British artist Charles Robertson, capturing the vibrant energy and rich cultural heritage of Egypt's bustling city streets. Taken in the mid-19th century, the image transports us back in time to the heart of Cairo's bustling bazaar district. The scene is set on a narrow, sun-drenched street, where the sounds of haggling and the colors of textiles fill the air. Men in traditional Egyptian garb, their faces etched with the lines of hard work and the passage of time, engage in animated negotiations over the sale of intricately patterned carpets and fabrics. The textiles, with their bold geometric designs and rich hues, spill out from the open doorways of shops, creating a riot of color against the sandstone walls of the buildings. In the foreground, a group of men gather around a carpet spread out on the ground, their intense focus on the intricacies of the weave a testament to the importance of trade in this ancient city. Above them, a balcony offers a respite from the bustling scene below, its ornate archway framing a view of the minaret of a nearby mosque. Robertson's masterful composition and use of light and shadow draw the viewer into the scene, inviting us to explore the history and culture of this extraordinary Eastern city. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Cairo, a place where the past and present come together in a vibrant, textured tapestry. Charles Robertson's "A Street Scene in Cairo" is a stunning example of the power of photography to capture a moment in time and transport us to another place and era. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Cairo, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
