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 stunning print showcases a detail from the North Frieze of the Parthenon, a masterpiece of ancient Greek art hailing from the Acropolis in Athens, now housed in the British Museum in London, England. Dated back to the 5th century BC, this section of the Parthenon's sculpted decoration, specifically panel XLI, features an intriguing scene of riders in gallop. The male figures, depicted in dynamic poses atop their horses, exude a sense of power and grace. Their muscular bodies and the flowing drapery of their garments are expertly sculpted in marble, capturing the essence of the human form in motion. The horses, too, are portrayed with remarkable detail, their galloping gaits frozen in time. This historical artwork is a testament to the artistic achievements of ancient Greece and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and intrigue.
