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
Step right up and experience the enchanting allure of the Belgian Village at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, also known as the Century of Progress Exposition. This photograph transports us back in time to the heart of this European-inspired section, where visitors were invited to immerse themselves in the rich culture and heritage of Belgium. The meticulously recreated Belgian Village was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the Fair's organizers. The quaint, red-tiled roofs of the buildings, adorned with intricate woodwork and vibrant flowers, evoke a sense of charm and nostalgia. The cobblestone streets, lined with quaint shops and cafes, beckoned fairgoers to explore and indulge in the authentic Belgian waffles, chocolates, and beers. The Village was a popular destination for visitors, who were drawn to its authentic atmosphere and the opportunity to learn about the history and traditions of this fascinating European country. The Village was also a celebration of the strong cultural ties between Belgium and the United States, which were forged through immigration and trade. This photograph captures the essence of the Belgian Village, transporting us back to the 1930s and the excitement of the Chicago World's Fair. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when the world came together to showcase the best of human achievement and innovation.
