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 evocative image transports us back in time to the ancient city of Timbuktu, Mali, in the late 19th century. The house in the foreground once belonged to the intrepid Austrian explorer, Hermann von Lenz. Lenz, an engineer and geographer, arrived in Timbuktu in 1880 and was captivated by the city's rich history and unique architecture. Timbuktu, also known as Tombouctou or Timbuctoo, is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the West African nation of Mali. Known as the "City of 333 Saints," Timbuktu was a center of learning and Islamic scholarship during the medieval period. The city's architecture reflects its storied past, with adobe buildings featuring intricate Islamic geometric designs and ornate doors. Lenz's house, with its simple yet sturdy design, stands out against the backdrop of the more ornate structures that surround it. The house's weathered adobe walls and thatched roof are typical of the traditional architecture of the region. The image captures the essence of Timbuktu's unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Despite the passage of time, Lenz's house remains a testament to the explorer's legacy in Timbuktu. Today, the city continues to attract visitors from around the world who come to explore its ancient mosques, mausoleums, and markets. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring allure of Timbuktu and the stories of the intrepid explorers who once called it home.
