17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Victoria, the capital city of the Seychelles, as it looked in 1903. The image showcases the Victorian-era architecture that once dominated the town, with the imposing Victoria Memorial and the Town Hall taking center stage. The Victoria Memorial, a grand monument dedicated to Queen Victoria, stands proudly in the foreground. Constructed in 1903, the memorial is a testament to the strong historical ties between the Seychelles and the British Empire. The intricate details of the memorial, including its ornate columns and intricate carvings, are beautifully preserved in this photograph. In the background, the Town Hall, another iconic Victorian-era building, can be seen. The Town Hall, which was also built in 1903, served as the seat of local government and was the center of administrative and social life in Victoria. Its red-tiled roof, tall arches, and grand entrance make it a striking addition to the city's skyline. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past of this idyllic Indian Ocean island nation. The lush greenery, clear blue skies, and calm waters of the ocean create a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The absence of modern structures and the presence of horse-drawn carriages add to the sense of history and nostalgia. This photograph is a valuable historical record of Victoria as it appeared over a century ago. It offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating insight into the architectural and historical heritage of the Seychelles.
