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 detail from the West Frieze of the Parthenon, housed in the British Museum in London, offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic mastery of ancient Greece. Dated back to the 5th century BC, this marble sculpture is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and creativity of the Greek artists of that era. The image depicts a marshal, dressed in armor, who stands with a stern expression as he turns his head towards a horseman who is galloping towards him from the left. The horse, with its mane and tail flowing in the wind, is in mid-gallop, its hooves barely touching the ground. The intricate details of the horse's body, from its muscular form to the individual strands of its horsehair mane, are expertly sculpted, showcasing the artist's skill and attention to detail. The marshal's portrait is equally impressive, with his helmeted head turned towards the approaching horseman. His eyes are fixed on the rider, his mouth set in a determined line, and his nose and muzzle subtly sculpted to add depth and realism to the figure. The relief's intricate details, from the folds of the marshal's cloak to the texture of the horse's snout, transport us back to ancient Greece and offer a window into a time long past. This detail from the Parthenon's West Frieze is not only a stunning work of art but also a historical artifact that offers valuable insights into the culture, history, and artistic traditions of ancient Greece. Its presence in the British Museum is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Greek art and the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage.
