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.

1. Title: Ancient Sanctuary of Olympia: A Testament to the Rich History of the Olympic Games The captivating image before you transports us back in time to the ancient Sanctuary of Olympia, located in the southern region of Peloponnese, Greece. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its significant role in the history of athletics and the Olympic Games, which were held here from 776 BC to 393 AD. At the heart of the sanctuary lies the ancient Olympic Stadium, an architectural marvel of the classical period. The stone amphitheater, with its impressive capacity to accommodate thousands of spectators, was the stage where athletes from all corners of the ancient world came to compete in various sports, including running, wrestling, boxing, and the pentathlon. The exedra, a semi-circular stone platform in the foreground, served as the judges' tribune where the hellanodikai, the ancient judges, sat to ensure fair play and adjudicate disputes. The remains of this exedra, with its intricate carvings and worn-down steps, stand as a testament to the rich history of the Olympic Games. The southern bank of the stadium, as depicted in this photograph, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the excitement, camaraderie, and spirit of competition that once filled this sacred space. The ruins of the ancient Olympic Stadium continue to inspire awe and respect, reminding us of the enduring legacy of the Olympic Games and the profound impact they have had on world history. This photograph, with its breathtaking composition and intriguing details, invites us to explore the fascinating world of ancient Greek culture and the enduring allure of the Olympic Games.
