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.

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
"Miss Columbia: A Poetic Personification of the United States of America This image captures the essence of Miss Columbia, a historical and poetic name used to represent the United States of America. Dating back to the 17th century, Columbia has inspired the names of numerous places, institutions, and objects, including the District of Columbia, the site of the national capital, and Columbia University. In this photograph, Miss Columbia is depicted as a graceful and regal woman, draped in the stars and stripes of the American flag. With a proud and confident posture, she holds the flag aloft, the stars and stripes billowing in the wind. A wreath of laurel and olive branches encircles her head, symbolizing the country's achievements and its hope for peace. The personification of Columbia represents the unity and strength of the United States, with each star and stripe on the flag a testament to the individual states that make up the country. The star-spangled banner, a symbol of American pride and resilience, is held high, a reminder of the country's rich history and the sacrifices made to preserve its freedoms. Miss Columbia, an archetype of American womanhood, embodies the spirit of the United States, a land of opportunity, progress, and diversity. Her image has inspired generations, and though she has been largely displaced as the female symbol of the USA by the Statue of Liberty in the 1920s, her legacy continues to live on in the hearts and minds of Americans and beyond."
