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 evocative portrait captures the essence of a camel, an iconic symbol of the Egyptian desert, as it gazes intently from the heart of Cairo. The image, taken in the late 1800s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Egypt, a land where camels have long been an integral part of daily life. The camel's humped back, a result of the animal's ability to store water and fat, is a testament to the harsh desert conditions that have shaped the lives of both the animals and the people who have relied on them for transportation and survival. The intricate patterns and colors of the camel's saddle and harness reflect the artistry and craftsmanship of the Egyptian people, who have long been renowned for their skills in textiles and leatherwork. The backdrop of Cairo's bustling streets and ancient architecture adds to the sense of history and tradition, as the city's mosques, palaces, and bazaars have stood as enduring symbols of Egypt's past and present. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the important role that camels have played in the region's history, from their use as pack animals and transportation in ancient times to their continued presence as a beloved and essential part of Egyptian culture today. This image invites us to explore the depths of Egypt's history and to appreciate the resilience and beauty of the camel, a living link to the past that continues to captivate and inspire us.
