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
The captivating image showcases the Statue of Castor and Pollux, located at Piazza Campidoglio in the heart of Rome, Italy. This magnificent sculpture is a tribute to the mythological twin brothers, Castor and Pollux, also known as the Dioscuri or the Dioskouroi. According to Greek and Roman mythology, these brothers were the sons of Zeus and Leda, and were renowned for their exceptional skills in horsemanship and hunting. Castor and Pollux were inseparable, and their bond was so strong that when Castor was about to die, Pollux begged the gods to let him share his immortality with his brother. As a result, Zeus granted them the gift of being able to live on earth for half the year as mortals and spend the other half in the underworld with their immortal brotherhood. The statue, which dates back to the late 16th century, depicts the brothers on horseback, with Castor on the left and Pollux on the right. The horses' reins are held in their hands, symbolizing their mastery over their horses and their unity. The statue stands proudly on a pedestal, surrounded by lush greenery and the stunning architecture of Piazza Campidoglio, which offers a breathtaking view of Rome's ancient history and cultural heritage. The Statue of Castor and Pollux is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and its ability to captivate and inspire generations. It is a must-see attraction for visitors to Rome, who are drawn to its historical and artistic significance. The statue's intricate details and lifelike features make it a true masterpiece, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Latium and Italy as a whole.
