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 spirit of unity and camaraderie between France and Britain during the Franco-British Exhibition held in White City, London, in 1908. The Entente Cordiale, signed in 1904, aimed to improve diplomatic and economic relations between the two nations, and the exhibition was a testament to the success of this agreement. The image features Marianne, the symbol of France, and Britannia, the personification of Britain, standing together in a show of friendship. The towering structures of the exhibition can be seen in the background, with the Grand Palais and the British Pavilion prominently displayed. The industrial and economic progress of both countries was on full display, with exhibits showcasing the latest advancements in transportation, trade, and technology. The route from Dover to Calais, the shortest sea crossing between the two countries, was a central theme of the exhibition. The importance of this transport link was emphasized through various displays, highlighting the significance of the Channel as a vital artery of commerce and cultural exchange. This photograph is a historical reminder of a time when two great European powers came together in peace and cooperation, paving the way for a stronger and more united Europe. The Franco-British Exhibition of 1908 was a turning point in the history of Franco-British relations, and this image encapsulates the spirit of unity and progress that defined the event.
