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 photograph captures the intricate detail of the Pergamon Altar, a masterpiece of Hellenistic art housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. Built between 164 and 156 BC by order of Eumenes II Soter, the ruler of Pergamon in Asia Minor, the altar showcases the epic battle between the Olympian gods and the Titans, also known as the Gigantomachy. The West frieze of the altar, depicted in the photograph, illustrates the fierce struggle between Amphitrite, the goddess of the sea, and her son Triton, and the giants. Amphitrite is shown riding on the back of a sea monster, while Triton, with his fishtail, engages in combat with the giants. The detail of their muscular bodies, the veins on their skin, and the intricate folds of their clothing are all beautifully rendered in marble and limestone. The altar's interior is adorned with Ionic columns, creating a monumental and awe-inspiring atmosphere. The altar's exterior is decorated with a colonnade and features colossal figures of horses and lions, adding to its grandeur. The altar's intricate carvings and high relief are a testament to the artistic skill of the artists of the school of Pergamon during the Hellenistic period. The Pergamon Altar is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history, mythology, or art. Its intricate detail and historical significance make it a treasure of the ancient world, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Greece and Rome.
