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 map print from circa 1930 showcases the Suez Canal in Egypt, an engineering marvel of the 19th century. The waterway stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, connecting two major bodies of water and significantly reducing the distance and time required for international maritime travel between Europe and Asia. The intricately detailed map illustrates the Suez Canal's winding path, as it cuts through the Egyptian desert, passing by the cities of Ismailia and Port Said in the eastern and western terminals, respectively. The map also highlights the major travel routes in the area, including the railway tracks that run parallel to the canal, providing an alternative means of transportation for both people and goods. The map reveals several lakes and bodies of water in the region, such as the Bitter Lakes and the Lake Timsah, which were used as part of the canal's lock system to help regulate the water levels and facilitate the passage of ships. The map also marks various ports and anchorages along the canal, providing essential information for travelers and sailors of the time. Ferdinand de Lesseps, a French diplomat and entrepreneur, founded the Suez Canal Company in 1858, with the vision of constructing the canal to facilitate global trade and travel. The map serves as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of maritime exploration and the development of international travel routes.
