31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 stunning photograph, titled "Temple of the Five Genii and Celebrated Nine Storied Pagoda," is a captivating image from the Classic Photographics Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. The photograph is part of the important series of views in China produced by Swiss photographer Pierre Joseph Rossier and issued by Negretti and Zambra between 1858 and 1861. These images mark the first time that such high-quality photographs of China were made available to the Western world. The Temple of the Five Genii and the Celebrated Nine Storied Pagoda are prominent landmarks in the Chinese city of Suzhou. The temple, dedicated to the Five Genii of Wealth, Prosperity, Longevity, Literature, and War, is adorned with intricate carvings and colorful decorations. The pagoda, a nine-tiered tower with multiple eaves, is a symbol of Chinese architectural excellence and spiritual devotion. Rossier's photograph beautifully captures the essence of these iconic structures, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China during the mid-19th century. The image offers a unique perspective on the Eastern world, which was then largely shrouded in mystery and intrigue for the Western audience. Rossier's mastery of the photographic process, combined with the historical significance of the subject matter, makes this photograph a valuable addition to any collection of Chinese art or photographic history.
