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.

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 a breathtaking detail of Rozafa Castle in Shkodra, Albania, nestled against the backdrop of the mountainous landscape. Perched atop a hill overlooking the Drin River, this ancient fortress has stood as a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage for centuries. Rozafa Castle, also known as Rruga e Rozafes or Scutari Castle, is a fortified citadel that dates back to the Illyrian and Roman periods. Its name is believed to originate from the mythological figure Rozafa, who was said to have been sacrificed to ensure the success of the castle's construction. The castle's walls, which can be seen in this image, are a testament to the architectural prowess of the time. The intricate stonework and the strategic placement of the fortifications offer a glimpse into the defensive measures taken during times of conflict. The mountainous landscape that surrounds Rozafa Castle adds to its allure. The rugged terrain, dotted with trees and lush greenery, creates a stunning contrast against the castle's imposing structure. The Drin River, which winds its way through the valley below, adds to the natural beauty of the scene. Shkodra, the second-largest city in Albania, is home to many historical sites, including Rozafa Castle. The city's location at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea has made it an important cultural and economic hub throughout history. Today, it is a popular tourist destination for those seeking to explore the wonders of Albanian history and natural beauty.
