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
1. Title: A Timeless Duo: The Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure at the Giza Plateau, Egypt 2. Description: This photograph showcases the majestic pyramids of Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mycerinus) nestled against the desert backdrop at the ancient Giza Plateau in Egypt. The Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest pyramid in the Giza complex, is renowned for its unique and perfect proportions, while the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three main pyramids, exhibits a more rounded and smoother appearance. 3. Historical Context: The Pyramid of Khafre, built around 2520 BC, is a testament to the architectural prowess and engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians. It was erected as a tomb for Pharaoh Khafre, the son of Sneferu and grandson of Khnumhotep II. The Pyramid of Menkaure, constructed around 2490 BC, is the smallest of the three main pyramids and was built for Pharaoh Menkaure and his queen, Queen Meresankh III. 4. Architectural Significance: The Pyramid of Khafre is unique for its sloping sides, which create an optical illusion of the pyramid appearing to change size as one moves around it. The Pyramid of Menkaure, on the other hand, is the last pyramid built in the traditional Egyptian style, with a smooth limestone casing covering its exterior. 5. Cultural Importance: The Pyramids of Giza are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They continue to captivate visitors from around the world, inspiring awe and wonder at the ingenuity and determination of the ancient Egyptians. 6. Conclusion: This photograph encapsulates the timeless beauty and historical significance of the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure at the Giza Plateau in Egypt. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and architectural achievements of one of the world's oldest civilizations.
