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 photograph, taken in 1918, showcases the stunning St. Matthew's Roman Catholic Cathedral located in the heart of Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan. The image transports us back in time to an era of colonial influence and religious diversity in East Africa. The cathedral, dedicated to St. Matthew the Evangelist, was built between 1887 and 1899 under the supervision of Father Giuseppe Sapeto, an Italian missionary. Its distinctive red brick and white limestone architecture reflects the fusion of European and Sudanese design elements, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence of different cultures. The Sudanese people, predominantly Muslim, make up the majority of the population in this region. However, the presence of various Christian denominations, including the Roman Catholic Church, reflects the rich religious tapestry of the country. St. Matthew's Cathedral served as a spiritual sanctuary for the Catholic community in Khartoum and beyond. The photograph captures the cathedral in all its splendor, with its tall spires reaching towards the clear blue sky, the intricate stonework adorning the facade, and the lush greenery surrounding the church. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper understanding of the historical significance of this architectural masterpiece and the role it played in the religious landscape of Sudan. As we admire the beauty and tranquility of this sacred space, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and the capacity for diverse communities to come together in the pursuit of spiritual growth and understanding.
