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 photograph, taken in 1903, showcases the grand entrance to the House of the Governor General in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The image transports us back in time to the Russian colonial era, with its intricate architectural details and the regal presence of the guards. The House of the Governor General, also known as the Residence of the Governor-General of Turkestan, was a significant administrative building in Tashkent, the capital city of the Russian Turkestan Governorate. The residence served as the official residence and workplace for the Governor-General of Turkestan, who was responsible for governing the Russian territories in Central Asia. The entrance to the House of the Governor General is adorned with ornate columns and intricate stonework, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. Two guards, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and standing at attention, flank the entrance. Each guard holds a striped box, possibly containing ammunition for their cannon, which is positioned nearby. The Russian flag flies proudly atop the building, symbolizing the Russian presence in Central Asia. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of Tashkent and the Russian colonial era in Uzbekistan. It captures the grandeur and power of the Russian administration, while also highlighting the intricate architectural details and cultural influences that have shaped the city's rich history.
