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 stunning panoramic view of Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1906, showcases the breathtaking beauty and rich history of this ancient city. The photograph captures the Old Town's ramparts and fortifications, including the Heptapyrgion Castle and Citadel, perched atop a hill. The crenelated walls and battlements, with their intricate designs, evoke images of a bygone era. Two inset photographs add an intriguing element to this image. In one, a group of four Ottoman Turkish soldiers, dressed in traditional uniforms, pose proudly for the camera. Their stern expressions and military bearing convey a sense of discipline and order. In the other inset, a local man reclines in a relaxed pose, offering a contrast to the formal military image. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, is a city steeped in history. Its strategic location on the Aegean Sea made it a prized possession for various empires throughout the centuries. The Ottoman Turks ruled the city for over 400 years, leaving an indelible mark on its architecture and culture. The ramparts and fortifications, including the Yedi Kule or Seven Towers, were built to protect the city from invaders. The Heptapyrgion Castle, located at the city's highest point, was a symbol of power and authority. Today, these historical landmarks serve as reminders of Thessaloniki's storied past and its role as a melting pot of diverse cultures and traditions.
