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 catalog illustration showcases a selection of exquisite donations to a post-war charity bazaar in the late 1890s, during the Ottoman Empire under Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The first item, a carpet (38), is a magnificent creation from the Imperial Factory at Hereke, Turkey. Based on an ancient design from the museum of antiquities in Constantinople, it was generously donated by the Sultan himself. The second offering (39) is an ancient embroidery on silk cloth, also donated by the Sultan, adding a touch of Eastern elegance to the collection. The third item (40) is an ancient Japanese bronze vase, adorned with intricate figures, and graciously donated by Marshal Fuad Pasha. The fourth donation (41) is a candlestick from Saxony, decorated with delicate flowers, and was kindly given by Tahsin Bey, the First Secretary to the Sultan. Lastly, the fifth item (42) is a mirror framed with enamel, mounted on twisted columns, and featuring a drawer in tortoiseshell, containing gold toilet accessories. This beautiful piece was a generous gift from Ahmed Zulkifle Pasha, the son-in-law of the Sultan. These ornate and intricately designed items were donated to aid wounded soldiers and their families, victims of the war, as part of the Ottoman Empire's patronage efforts during this time. The illustration, produced in the Chromolithograph technique, captures the essence of the Eastern and French influences that characterized the Ottoman Empire during this period. The catalog serves as a reminder of the generosity and cultural richness that marked this era in Turkish history.
