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.

Shipping at Suez, Egypt, circa 1890: A Captivating Sight of Maritime History This photograph, taken circa 1890, showcases the bustling activity of the Suez Canal in Egypt, a testament to the rich maritime history of the region. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel of the late 19th century, connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, significantly reducing the time and distance for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. In this image, we see a diverse fleet of sailing vessels and steamships navigating their way through the canal. The ships, with their distinctive sails and smokestacks, create a striking contrast against the backdrop of the arid desert landscape. The intricate details of the ships' rigging and the busy scene of cargo being loaded and unloaded at the docks add to the photograph's historical significance. The photograph also highlights the multicultural nature of the maritime industry during this period. Ships from various countries, including the United States, Great Britain, and France, are represented, reflecting the global reach of trade and commerce. The presence of local Egyptian workers and merchants further emphasizes the interconnectedness of the world during this era. This photograph, with its intriguing composition and historical importance, invites us to reflect on the past and the incredible transformation of global transportation and communication. It serves as a reminder of the Suez Canal's pivotal role in shaping the world's maritime history and fostering international trade and cultural exchange.
