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 enchanting waterfront boulevards of Algiers, Algeria, in the 1920s, as seen from Mustapha Superieur. The image showcases the picturesque blend of European and African influences that defined the city during this era. The broad, tree-lined boulevards, reminiscent of Parisian streets, wind their way along the coastline, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. In the foreground, a tram, a common mode of transportation during this time, ascends the steep slope of Coteaux de Mustapha Superieur, also known as the ramps or slopes of Mustapha Superior. The winding ramps, designed to help navigate the city's hilly terrain, are a testament to the ingenuity of urban planning during the colonial period. The vibrant colors and textures of the buildings, with their intricate architectural details, add to the visual richness of the scene. The whitewashed houses, with their red-tiled roofs, contrast beautifully with the lush greenery of the trees and the deep blue of the sea. The bustling activity along the waterfront, with people going about their daily lives, adds a sense of energy and vitality to the image. The boats moored in the harbor, their sails furled, suggest the city's rich maritime history and its connections to the wider world. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the unique character and charm of Algiers during the 1920s. The waterfront boulevards, with their European influences and African roots, continue to be a source of pride and inspiration for the people of Algiers today.
