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
The Exchange, or Bourse, in Alexandria, Egypt, is a stunning architectural masterpiece that once served as a hub for the city's vibrant financial and commercial scene. Circa the 1920s, this iconic building was a symbol of Alexandria's prosperity and cosmopolitanism. The print captures the grandeur of the Exchange's facade, with its intricately carved columns and elegant colonnade front. The sunshade awnings, fully extended, provide a striking contrast against the clear blue sky. The balconies, adorned with ornate railings, offer a glimpse into the bustling activity that once took place within the Exchange's walls. The Exchange was a place where merchants, traders, and financiers came together to buy and sell goods, securities, and currencies. The building's design reflects the blending of various architectural styles, a testament to Alexandria's rich cultural heritage. The presence of cars and motor vehicles parked outside the Exchange underscores the modernity of the city during the 1920s. The decade was a time of great progress and innovation, and Alexandria was no exception. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the lively atmosphere of the Exchange and the important role it played in Alexandria's history. The Exchange may no longer be a functioning financial institution, but it remains an enduring symbol of the city's past and its enduring connection to the global economy.
