17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 Valley of the Kings, located in the heart of Egypt's ancient Theban Necropolis near modern-day Luxor, is a breathtaking and awe-inspiring archaeological site that has captivated the imagination of scholars, adventurers, and tourists for centuries. This iconic image showcases the entrances of some of the tombs in this UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was the royal burial ground for Pharaohs and powerful nobles during the New Kingdom period (around 1550-1077 BC). The Valley of the Kings is renowned for its grandeur and the secrets it holds, including the tombs of famous Pharaohs such as Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II. Each tomb is unique in design and decoration, reflecting the beliefs and customs of the time. The entrance to a tomb is often the only visible part, leading to a complex network of chambers and passages that descend deep into the limestone cliffs. The area around the Valley of the Kings, including the nearby temples of Karnak and Luxor, is steeped in history and mystery. The ancient Egyptians believed that the pharaohs, as gods on earth, needed to be provided with all the necessities for their journey to the afterlife. This belief led to the construction of elaborate tombs filled with treasures, food, and other offerings. Today, the Valley of the Kings is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who come to marvel at the ancient wonders and learn about the rich history of this fascinating civilization. As you stand before these tomb entrances, it's impossible not to be humbled by the sheer scale of human achievement and the enduring legacy of ancient Egypt.
