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 photograph captures the desolate scene of the abandoned Aleppo Railway Station in Syria, following the Battle of Aleppo on October 25, 1918. The remnants of the Ottoman Empire's Yildirim Army Group, commanded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, had vacated the premises after Prince Feisal's Sheifial Forces captured the city during the Pursuit to Haritan from Damascus in the final days of the Sinai and Palestine Campaign in the First World War. The once bustling station, now a ghostly shell of its former self, stands silent and empty. The deserted building, with its broken windows and peeling paint, is a poignant reminder of the turmoil and upheaval that engulfed the region during this pivotal moment in history. The tracks leading away from the station are overgrown and abandoned, as if the passage of time has come to a standstill. The image is filled with a sense of melancholy and loss, as the echoes of clattering trains and bustling crowds have been replaced by the stillness and quietude of an empty station. This haunting photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the course of history was being written in the sands of the Middle East.
