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 Table Mountain Cable Car ascending the iconic Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1954. The image transports us back to the 1950s, a time of simple pleasures and scenic wonders. The cable car, a popular means of transportation for both locals and tourists, climbs the steep mountain side with grace and determination, leaving a trail of white smoke against the clear blue sky. The mountain's dramatic peaks and craggy cliffs loom in the background, their rugged beauty unchanged by the passage of time. The view from the cable car as it reaches the summit offers a breathtaking panorama of Cape Town and the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The Table Mountain Cableway, an engineering marvel of its time, opened in 1929 and has been a symbol of the city's resilience and spirit ever since. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Table Mountain and the magic of travel, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era.
