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 photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the bustling Port of Beirut, Lebanon, in its early 20th-century glory. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of this vibrant Mediterranean city. The Port of Beirut has played a pivotal role in Lebanon's economic and cultural development, serving as a gateway to the Middle East for centuries. In this photograph, we see a multitude of ships anchored at the quayside, their sails billowing in the wind, ready to embark on their journeys across the Mediterranean. The quay teems with activity, with workers loading and unloading cargo, and merchants haggling over deals. The Port of Beirut was a melting pot of diverse cultures and peoples, with traders from Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East all converging here to exchange goods and ideas. The photograph reflects this multicultural heritage, with the distinct architecture of the nearby buildings, including the Mosque of the Maronites and the Church of St. George, visible in the background. Despite the passage of time and the challenges that have come Lebanon's way, the Port of Beirut remains a symbol of resilience and hope. Today, it is undergoing a major redevelopment project, which aims to restore its former glory and transform it into a modern, world-class facility. This photograph serves as a reminder of the Port's storied past and its enduring importance to the people of Lebanon and the wider region.
