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, taken circa 1904, showcases the bustling Quai Francois Joseph in Port Said, Egypt. The quay, named after the French consul who played a significant role in the development of the city, is a vibrant hub of activity. At the heart of the scene, the Thomas Cook & Son office stands proudly, its distinctive signage clearly visible. Thomas Cook & Son was a renowned British travel agency that played a crucial role in facilitating tourism to Egypt and other parts of the world. The presence of their office in Port Said underscores the city's importance as a gateway to the Suez Canal and the wider region. Surrounding the travel agency, various boats and ships are moored along the quayside, their sails billowing in the wind. The Henry King Bank, another notable establishment, can also be seen in the background, adding to the diverse mix of businesses and industries that thrived in this bustling port city. Port Said, located in the north of Egypt and on the Mediterranean Sea, was a melting pot of cultures, with influences from Egypt, Europe, and Africa. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant energy of this unique and fascinating place. The Egyptian and North African landscape, with its warm, sun-kissed shores and clear blue waters, adds to the allure of this image.
