31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 photograph captures the bustling activity at the Port of Suez in Egypt during the late 1800s. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of the time, is seen in the background, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea and significantly reducing the distance and time required for ships to travel between Europe and Asia. The image showcases a diverse array of vessels docked at the port, from sailing ships with their tall masts and billowing sails to steamships with their distinctive funnels and paddle wheels. The hustle and bustle of the port is evident, with workers loading and unloading cargo, horses and donkeys transporting goods, and sailors going about their duties. The photograph also reveals the vibrant and multicultural atmosphere of the port, with people of various ethnicities and nationalities working and trading side by side. The colorful bazaars and markets can be seen in the distance, where merchants sold spices, textiles, and other exotic goods. The desert landscape of Egypt is visible in the background, with the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx tantalizingly out of sight. The Port of Suez was a gateway to the wonders of the ancient world, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling hub of international trade and cultural exchange that thrived there during the late 1800s.
