17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 vintage photograph, hailing from the late 19th century, transports us back in time to the bustling city of Calcutta, now known as Kolkata, India. The focal point of the image is the majestic Hooghly River Bridge, an architectural marvel of its time. The bridge, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Kolkata, spans the Hooghly River, connecting the old town with its suburbs. The photograph presents a panoramic view of the bridge, with its intricate ironwork and sturdy pillars, standing tall against the backdrop of the bustling urban landscape. The Hooghly River, with its gentle current, reflects the bridge's grandeur, adding to its visual appeal. The streets on either side of the bridge are filled with a riot of colors, as traditional residences with ornate balconies and ornamental facades line the streets. The photograph also showcases the vibrant street life of the city, with people going about their daily routines, adding a sense of energy and movement to the scene. The image captures the essence of Kolkata during the 19th century, a time of great transformation and growth, as it transitioned from a British colonial outpost to a major cultural and intellectual center of India. This photograph is a treasure trove of historical and architectural significance, offering a glimpse into the rich and diverse heritage of Kolkata and India as a whole. It invites us to explore the city's past, and to appreciate the beauty and resilience of its people and its architecture.
