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: "A Timeless Tribute: The Alexander Ball Monument in Valletta, Malta (circa 1910)" This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and tranquility of the Alexander Ball Monument in Lower Barracca, Valletta, Malta. Dating back to the early 1910s, the image transports us back in time to an era of classical architecture and refined elegance. The monument, dedicated to Sir Alexander Ball, a British Governor of Malta from 1873 to 1878, stands proudly amidst lush gardens filled with swaying palm trees. The monument's design is a testament to the architectural prowess of the time, with its imposing columns and intricately carved fluted pillars. The pediment, adorned with triglyphs, supports a grand entablature, while the frieze bears an inscription in honor of Sir Alexander Ball. The monument's reflection in the still waters of the nearby pond adds an element of serenity to the scene. The play of light and shadow on the monument's surface, as well as the reflection in the water, creates a captivating interplay of light and form. The gardens surrounding the monument are a peaceful retreat, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The image invites us to imagine the gentle breeze rustling through the palm fronds, the sound of water lapping against the shore, and the sun casting dappled shadows on the ground. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Malta, and the enduring beauty of its classical architecture. The Alexander Ball Monument stands as a testament to the past, while its tranquil gardens offer a sanctuary for visitors to connect with nature and reflect on the passing of time.
