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
1. Title: "Map of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in the 1920s: A Visual Testament to the British Tea Industry's Colonial Expansion" This map print, dated circa 1920, offers a glimpse into the British colonial influence on Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the 1920s, with a focus on the burgeoning tea industry. The map, bathed in a warm, sunlit hue, beautifully illustrates the island nation's geography, with its intricate network of tea plantations spread across the lush, green highlands. The map's vibrant colors – a rich tapestry of blue seas, sun-kissed land, and the verdant greens of the tea plantations – evoke a sense of tranquility and prosperity. The island's strategic location in the Indian Ocean, marked by the presence of ships and shipping lanes, underscores its importance as a vital trading hub during the colonial era. The British Empire's influence is evident in the map's meticulous detailing, with the tea plantations neatly demarcated and labeled, showcasing the extensive reach of the tea industry. The map serves as a testament to the British colonial endeavor in Ceylon, which transformed the island into a major global tea producer. The map's visual appeal extends beyond its historical significance, making it an intriguing addition to any collection focused on colonial history, geography, or the tea industry. Its evocative imagery of sunshine, sea, land, and the promise of a cup of fine Ceylon tea, continues to resonate with us today, offering a glimpse into a bygone era.
