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 captures the moment of historical significance as Lord Cromer, a prominent British statesman, diplomat, and colonial administrator, attends the official opening of Port Sudan on the Red Sea in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan on 1 April 1909. Dressed in formal attire and seated comfortably in the passenger seat of a car, Lord Cromer exudes an air of confidence and authority. The backdrop of the bustling construction site and the Red Sea in the background symbolizes the progress and development brought about by British colonial rule. Lord Cromer, also known as Sir Evelyn Baring, played a pivotal role in the administration of Egypt and Sudan from 1892 to 1912. His tenure was marked by the modernization and expansion of infrastructure, including the development of transportation networks such as ports like Port Sudan. This photograph serves as a testament to the impact of British colonialism in the Middle East and the Arab world during the early 1900s. The opening of Port Sudan was a significant milestone in the region's history, as it provided a vital outlet for the export of agricultural produce and raw materials, contributing to the economic growth of the area. The car, a symbol of modern transportation, underscores the advancements made during Lord Cromer's time in office. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the past but also sheds light on the complex and multifaceted nature of colonialism and its lasting impact on the world.
