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, taken in the late 19th century, showcases a young and dapper Prince Edward, later known as King Edward VII, during his historic visit to the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The image, captured by the renowned British photographer Francis Bedford, depicts the prince standing in front of the ancient wonder, his back towards the camera, as he admires the awe-inspiring sight. The vast desert landscape stretches out behind him, with towering dunes and rugged mountains creating a breathtaking backdrop. The pyramid itself, shrouded in the golden glow of the setting sun, stands proud against the clear blue sky. The prince's visit to Egypt was part of a wider tour of the Middle East, which took place in 1862. At the time, travel to such distant lands was a luxury afforded only by the wealthy and the aristocracy. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when travel was an adventure, and the discovery of new cultures and historical sites was a source of great excitement. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of Egypt and its ancient wonders, which continue to draw visitors from all corners of the globe. The Great Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, remains a symbol of human achievement and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that spans millennia. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into a time when the world seemed a much larger and more mysterious place.
