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 souvenir postcard, postmarked 1899, offers a glimpse into the rich history and ancient beauty of Athens, Greece. The image features two of the city's most iconic landmarks: the Arch of Hadrian and the Parthenon, majestically perched atop the Acropolis. The Arch of Hadrian, a magnificent gateway and monument built in 131 AD, stands proudly in the foreground. Dedicated to the Roman Emperor Hadrian, the arch showcases intricate carvings of gods and emperors, symbolizing the fusion of Roman and Greek cultures. In the background, the Parthenon, an ancient temple dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, rises majestically. Its iconic columns, meticulously crafted from Pentelic marble, have stood the test of time, remaining a symbol of Greek civilization and architectural brilliance. This postcard serves as a window to the past, transporting us back to an era when the ancient world's greatest achievements were still standing tall. The image captures the essence of Athens' enduring allure, inviting us to explore its history and marvel at its timeless beauty.
