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
This photograph, titled 'Walls of Shanghai, China, 1870s' by John Reddie Black, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Shanghai during the late 19th century. The image showcases the intricately designed walls and gates of old Shanghai, a testament to the city's unique blend of Chinese and Western influences. Shanghai, then a major trading port, was undergoing rapid modernization during the 1870s. The city was a melting pot of cultures, with Chinese, European, and American residents living in close proximity. This photograph captures the traditional Chinese architecture that still existed alongside the new Western-style buildings. The walls and gates in the photograph were an essential part of Chinese residential areas, known as lilongs, which were enclosed communities with narrow lanes and shared courtyards. These walls provided privacy, security, and a sense of community for the residents. The intricate designs on the walls reflect the artistic traditions of Chinese craftsmanship and the influence of Chinese culture on the city. John Reddie Black, a Scottish photographer, captured this image during his travels through China. His work documented the country's people, landscapes, and architecture, providing valuable records of a time and place that have long since changed. This photograph is a reminder of Shanghai's rich history and the unique cultural blend that once defined the city.
