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
1933 Chicago World's Fair: A Magical Realm of Wonder and Delight - Chicago Worlds Fair 1933 - Enchanted Island (Aerial View) The Chicago World's Fair of 1933, also known as the "Century of Progress Exposition," was a grand celebration of human achievement and progress held in the heart of the United States. One of the most beloved attractions of this international exhibition was the Enchanted Island, a fantastical playground designed specifically for the enjoyment of children. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the Enchanted Island was a veritable paradise for young visitors. This aerial photograph, taken from the birds-eye view, captures the magical allure of this whimsical wonderland. With its colorful pavilions, winding waterways, and enchanting gardens, the Enchanted Island was a place where the imagination could run wild. Children of all ages were drawn to the island's many delights. They could explore the Mystery House, a maze of twists and turns that challenged their problem-solving skills. They could take a ride on the Jolly Flume, a thrilling water ride that splashed and sprayed them with water. And they could even visit the Animal Pavilion, home to a menagerie of exotic creatures from around the world. The Enchanted Island was more than just a playground, however. It was a testament to the power of creativity and innovation. Designed by a team of architects, engineers, and landscape architects, the island was a masterpiece of modern design. Its sleek, streamlined buildings and sweeping curves were a harbinger of the future. As this aerial photograph reveals, the Enchanted Island was a place of wonder and delight, a magical realm where children could escape the everyday world and explore the boundless possibilities of their own imaginations. It was a fitting symbol of the spirit of progress and optimism that defined the Chicago World's Fair of 1933.
