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
The Pergamon Altar, a grand masterpiece of Hellenistic art, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Pergamon in Asia Minor. Commissioned by Eumenes II Soter around 164-156 BC, this monumental marble and limestone structure was created by artists of the renowned Pergamon school. The North Frieze, a stunning high relief, depicts an epic scene from Greek mythology: the Moirai, the goddesses of fate, engaged in a fierce battle against the Giants Agrios and Thoas. With their inexorable bronze clubs, the Moirai mercilessly bring an end to the Giants' rebellion, symbolizing the inevitable triumph of order over chaos. This intricately detailed sculpture, now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, offers a captivating glimpse into the mythological age, transporting us back to the grandeur and complexity of ancient civilizations.
