Alexandria Inaugurates Ptolemy Soter
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print captures a pivotal moment in history - the inauguration of the great Library of Alexandria by Ptolemy I Soter around 370 BC. The Library, located in Egypt, was not only a center for knowledge and learning but also a symbol of cultural richness and intellectual curiosity.
In this image, we see Ptolemy I Soter standing proudly as he inaugurates the library, surrounded by scholars and dignitaries who are eager to explore the vast collection of scrolls and manuscripts housed within its walls. The architecture of the library itself is awe-inspiring, with grand columns and intricate carvings that speak to the sophistication and grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization.
As we gaze upon this scene from centuries past, we are reminded of the importance of preserving knowledge and fostering a love for learning. The Library of Alexandria was not just a repository for books; it was a beacon of enlightenment that attracted scholars from all corners of the known world.
Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most significant events - the birth of a legendary institution that would shape our understanding of science, philosophy, literature, and art for generations to come.
