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 striking photograph captures the House of Parliament in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, as it appeared in 1905. Located in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, near the city of Durban, the House of Parliament in Pietermaritzburg served as the legislative branch of government for the Colony of Natal from its completion in 1897 until the Union of South Africa was established in 1910. The architectural design of the building is a blend of Victorian and classical styles, with its imposing dome and intricate detailing reflecting the grandeur and importance of colonial rule. The building's foundation stone was laid in 1896 by Sir Frederick Jack, the Governor of Natal at the time, and it was officially opened in 1897 by the Colonial Secretary, Sir Alfred Milner. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of South Africa during the colonial era. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich architectural heritage that can be found throughout the country. Today, the House of Parliament in Pietermaritzburg stands as a symbol of the region's history and cultural significance, attracting visitors from around the world who come to explore the building and learn about its fascinating past.
