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
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of The Shopping Centre at RAF Fayid (LG-211), a former military airfield located in Egypt's eastern desert, circa 1920s. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) established the airfield approximately 14 miles south of Ismailia and 72 miles northeast of Cairo. The image showcases a lively scene of open-air shops, where soldiers and local Egyptians exchange goods and services. The Shopping Centre served as a vital hub for the British military community, providing essential supplies and necessities. The airfield, with its distinctive red-roofed buildings and aircraft parked nearby, can be seen in the background. The desert landscape and palm trees surrounding the centre add to the unique character of this thriving commercial center in the heart of the British military presence in Egypt during the 1920s.
