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
In this photograph from the early 1910s, the rugged terrain of Belemedik, Turkey, serves as the backdrop for an impressive railway construction site. The Berlin-Baghdad railway, a historic project aimed at connecting Europe and the Middle East, is underway, and the scene showcases the determination and engineering prowess of the workers. The image, bathed in a warm sepia tone, presents a breathtaking aerial view of the valley below, where the railway tracks are being laid. The Taurus Mountains loom in the distance, their peaks dusted with snow, a stark contrast to the arid landscape surrounding the construction site. The intricate dance of progress is evident as workers meticulously lay down rails and connect them with spikes, while trains and trucks transport materials to the site. The railway line snakes through the valley, weaving around the natural contours of the land. The photograph captures the industrious spirit of the era, as the world was becoming increasingly connected through advancements in transportation. The Berlin-Baghdad railway, a testament to human ingenuity, would eventually span over 1,550 kilometers, linking Europe and the Middle East. This photograph, a fascinating glimpse into history, offers a unique perspective on the railway construction at Belemedik, Turkey, during the early 1910s. The image is a testament to the perseverance and innovation that made such a massive undertaking possible.
