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.

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 enchanting image captures a romanticized view of the ancient ruins of Persepolis, the once grand capital city of the Achaemenid Empire in ancient Iran, as they appeared prior to extensive archaeological excavations in the early 20th century. The photograph, taken in 1823, offers a glimpse into the past, before the meticulous work of scholars and archaeologists, most notably the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute in the 1930s, began to uncover the hidden treasures and secrets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ruins of Persepolis, located in modern-day Fars province in southern Iran, were the center of the Persian Empire's political power and ceremony. The city's impressive architecture, intricate reliefs, and monumental structures were designed to showcase the grandeur and might of the Persian kings. This image, with its lush greenery and serene atmosphere, invites us to imagine the splendor and majesty of Persepolis in its prime. As we admire the beauty of this photograph, it is essential to remember that it represents only a fraction of the story. The true essence of Persepolis lies beneath the surface, waiting to be discovered and understood through the tireless efforts of archaeologists and historians. This image serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Iran and the importance of preserving and studying our past.
