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.

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
St. Patrick's School, Karachi, Sindh Province, British India (circa 1900) This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of St. Patrick's School in Karachi, Sindh Province, British India, during the early 1900s. The school, founded by the Irish Christian Brothers in 1860, was a prominent educational institution under the British colonial rule. The large, imposing building, with its crenellated roof and distinctive cross atop, stands as a testament to the architectural elegance of the British Empire's educational infrastructure. The photograph reveals a bustling scene outside the school. Horse-drawn carriages line the street, transporting students and staff to and from the institution. The horses, with their regal bearing and polished harnesses, add to the overall sense of grandeur and importance. The students, dressed in their formal school uniforms, can be seen milling about, some engaged in animated conversations, while others wait patiently for their rides. The religious significance of the school is evident in the large cross that dominates the school's facade. St. Patrick's School was an integral part of the British colonial educational system, which aimed to spread Western education and Christian values throughout its territories. The school's commitment to providing quality education to the children of Karachi, regardless of their religious or ethnic backgrounds, made it a respected and valued institution in the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of education in British India and the enduring legacy of St. Patrick's School in Karachi. Today, the school continues to thrive as a symbol of educational excellence and cultural heritage, now located in the bustling metropolis of Karachi, Pakistan.
