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
In this evocative photograph, three men proudly don traditional Greek costumes in the heart of Athens during the 1910s. The men, all with well-groomed moustaches, exude an air of confidence and camaraderie as they pose for the camera. The oldest man on the left wears a long, flowing white tunic, adorned with intricate embroidery and a red sash, while the other two men wear shorter, more fitted versions of the same attire. Each man wears a wide-brimmed felt hat, and they all carry rifles slung over their shoulders. The presence of the rifles suggests that these men may have been members of the Greek military during this period, when the country was still recovering from the Balkan Wars and the Greco-Turkish War. The bullets in their belts add to the sense of readiness and preparedness. Despite the military context, however, the men's traditional Greek costumes remain the focus of the image, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Greece. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when Greece was undergoing significant political and social changes. The men's proud display of their traditional attire serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of cultural identity, even in times of upheaval. The image also highlights the role of photography in preserving historical moments and documenting the evolution of fashion and social norms over time. Overall, this photograph is a captivating reminder of the history and culture of Athens and Greece during the early 20th century.
