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
A Captivating Glimpse into London's Historical Zoo: A Crowd of Holidaymakers Delight in the Presence of Majestic Elephants (1872) This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as a crowd of holidaymakers gathers at the Regent's Park Zoological Gardens in London, eagerly observing a pair of magnificent elephants. The year is 1872, and the Zoo, which had opened its doors to the public just 25 years prior, had already established itself as a global phenomenon. Founded in 1828, London Zoo was the world's first scientific zoo, housing an extraordinary collection of exotic animals that were meticulously studied by the eminent scientists of the day. The Zoo's primary objective was to advance scientific knowledge through the observation and documentation of these fascinating creatures. However, it wasn't until 1847 that the Zoo opened its doors to the public, and the transformation was nothing short of remarkable. The Zoo quickly became the most famous in the world, attracting visitors from far and wide who were captivated by the opportunity to witness these exotic animals up close. In this photograph, we see the joy and wonder on the faces of the holidaymakers as they take in the sight of these majestic elephants. The scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Zoo, which continues to inspire and educate generations of visitors today.
