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 Symbol of Faith: The Roman Catholic Church on Gordon Road, Durban, Natal Province, South Africa (circa 1920) 2. Description: This photograph showcases the Roman Catholic Church, a historic and architecturally significant landmark located on Gordon Road in the bustling coastal city of Durban, Natal Province, South Africa. Dating back to the early 1920s, this magnificent structure stands as a testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of the region. 3. Background: The Roman Catholic Church in Durban was established in the late 19th century to cater to the growing Catholic community in the city. By the 1920s, the need for a larger and more impressive place of worship became apparent, leading to the construction of this stunning edifice. The church's design reflects a harmonious blend of European and African architectural influences, with its towering spire reaching towards the heavens and its intricate stonework reflecting the craftsmanship of the era. 4. Architecture: The Roman Catholic Church on Gordon Road is a prime example of the architectural beauty that can be found in Durban during the 1920s. The building's Gothic Revival style is evident in its pointed arches, flying buttresses, and ornate stonework. The church's most striking feature, however, is its tall, imposing tower, which dominates the Durban skyline and serves as a beacon of faith for the local Catholic community and beyond. 5. Legacy: Over the decades, the Roman Catholic Church on Gordon Road has continued to be an essential part of Durban's religious and cultural landscape. Its historic significance, coupled with its architectural beauty, makes it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike. This photograph captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the enduring power of faith and the importance of preserving our architectural heritage.
