Beams Carlton Frame Framework Johannesburg Jul17
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 captures the progress of building the iconic Carlton Hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa, in the year 1904. The image presents an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the meticulous construction process that brought this architectural marvel to life. The frame is dominated by the skeletal structure of the building, with its intricate network of iron beams and sturdy steel girders forming the foundation of the hotel. The beams are arranged in a grid-like pattern, creating a sense of order and stability. The framework is held together by an array of bolts and rivets, a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The construction site is bustling with activity, with workers in various stages of completing the building. Some are seen hammering nails into wooden planks, while others are laying bricks or mixing cement. The scene is a microcosm of the industrious spirit that characterized the early 20th century in South Africa. The Carlton Hotel, located in the heart of Johannesburg, was a symbol of progress and prosperity during the early 1900s. Its construction marked a significant milestone in the city's development, and it quickly became a landmark and a hub of social activity. The hotel's grand opening in 1905 was a much-anticipated event, and it drew visitors from all corners of the world. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the construction process of one of Johannesburg's most iconic buildings. It is a reminder of the ingenuity, hard work, and determination that went into building the Carlton Hotel and shaping the city's skyline.
