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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Abu Simbel: A Glimpse into Ancient Egypt's Grandeur (circa 1880s) This photograph transports us back in time to the ancient city of Abu Simbel in Egypt, circa 1880s. The image showcases the awe-inspiring statues of Pharaoh Ramesses II and his queen Nefertari, flanked by their gods Amun-Ra, Ptah, and Ra-Horakhty. These colossal statues, carved out of sandstone, stand tall in the Temple at Abu Simbel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located near Lake Nasser. The temple complex was built around 1264 BC as a tribute to Ramesses II and his queen, commemorating their reign and military victories. The statues were deliberately carved to face the sun twice a year during the equinoxes, creating an impressive light and shadow effect. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past when European explorers and archaeologists first began to uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt. The image captures the sense of wonder and awe that continues to draw visitors to this remarkable site today. The intricate details of the statues, their imposing size, and the vast desert landscape surrounding them, all contribute to the sense of grandeur and history that this photograph evokes. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that Egypt has to offer and the importance of preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
