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 grandeur and mystery of The Sultan's Palace in Fez, Morocco, North West Africa, circa 1920s. The image transports us back in time to an era of opulence and regal splendor, as we gaze upon the intricately designed walls and ornate architectural details of this historic palace. Fez, the ancient capital city of Morocco, was once the center of the Moroccan Empire and the residence of the powerful sultans. The Sultan's Palace, also known as the Dar Batha Museum, was built in the late 19th century and served as the royal residence until 1912, when the sultan was forced to relocate to Rabat following the French protectorate. The photograph showcases the palace's impressive facade, adorned with intricate geometric patterns, vibrant tiles, and ornate arches. The palace's imposing entrance gate, with its elaborate ironwork and tall, crenelated walls, exudes a sense of power and authority. The Sultan's Palace is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Morocco and the influence of Islamic and Andalusian architectural styles. The palace's interior is equally impressive, with its spacious courtyards, elegant gardens, and ornate throne room, which is adorned with intricate mosaics and gold leaf. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the grand processions and ceremonies that once took place within the walls of this magnificent palace. The Sultan's Palace in Fez remains an enduring symbol of Morocco's rich history and cultural heritage, and a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to explore the wonders of North Africa.
