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.

1. Title: "The Russian Gold Reserve: A Historical Snapshot of Russia's Wealth before the Revolution" This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from Russia's rich history, showcasing the impressive Russian Gold Reserve held in the State Bank of St. Petersburg in the early 20th century. The image, taken in December 1905, offers a rare glimpse into the vast wealth of the Russian Empire before the Revolution. The ranks of gold bars, neatly stacked and arranged, stretch as far as the eye can see. Each bar, weighing approximately 12.5 kilograms (27.5 pounds), is a testament to the economic power and prosperity of the Russian Empire at the time. The gold, imported from various parts of the world, was a crucial component of the country's financial system and served as a symbol of national pride. The photograph was taken in the State Bank of St. Petersburg, which was established in 1822 and served as the central bank of the Russian Empire until 1917. The bank played a significant role in managing the country's currency, regulating the economy, and maintaining the gold reserve. The image, held by the ILN (Illustrated London News) Picture Library, is a historical treasure that transports us back to a time when Russia was a major global power, its economy fueled by the wealth of its natural resources and its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the economic and historical significance of gold in shaping the world we live in today. As we gaze upon the ranks of gold bars, we are reminded of the complex and intriguing history of Russia and the role that gold played in its development. The photograph is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a valuable historical document that offers insights into the economic and political landscape of a bygone era.
