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 photograph, titled "Praya East Hong Kong and Jardines Sugar Factories," dates back to 1908, offering a glimpse into the rich history of China's vibrant and bustling port city of Hong Kong. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases the picturesque Praya East area, with its sprawling quay side teeming with activity. The heart of the scene is dominated by the imposing Jardine Sugar Factories, their tall smokestacks billowing white plumes into the sky. The factories, a testament to the region's industrial prowess, were a crucial part of Hong Kong's economic growth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The sugar industry was a significant contributor to the city's prosperity, with Hong Kong serving as a major hub for the global sugar trade. The quay side is a hive of activity, with a diverse array of boats and ships anchored, waiting to unload their cargo or to take on new supplies. Sailors and dockworkers can be seen busily loading and unloading goods, while others engage in casual conversation or take a break from the labor-intensive work. The photograph also reveals the unique architectural blend of Chinese and Western influences that characterizes Hong Kong. Traditional Chinese houses, with their distinctive red doors and tiled roofs, stand in stark contrast to the modern, Western-style factories and warehouses. This image provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and industrial heritage of Hong Kong during a pivotal period in its history.
