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
Railway Station - Suez, Egypt: A Glimpse into the Past Step back in time with this photograph of the Railway Station in Suez, Egypt, circa 1907. The station, affectionately spelled as 'Raelway' on the old card caption, is a testament to the rich history of transportation in this fascinating part of the world. The image showcases the grandeur of the era, with a powerful steam locomotive idling on the platform, its smokestack billowing out plumes of white steam against the clear blue sky. The locomotive, with its intricate design and detailed engineering, epitomizes the industrial prowess of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The station platforms, bustling with activity, are filled with passengers and their luggage, eagerly awaiting their journey. The carriages, neatly aligned and adorned with ornate designs, add to the overall charm of the scene. Suez, located at the northern terminus of the Suez Canal, was an essential stop for travelers and merchants traversing the Old World. The railway line, connecting Suez to Cairo and Alexandria, played a crucial role in facilitating the movement of goods and people, thereby boosting trade and commerce. This photograph, with its intriguing history and timeless appeal, is an excellent reminder of the transformative power of transportation and the enduring allure of Egypt's storied past.
