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
Vasco da Gama Street, Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa (circa 1930s) This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Vasco da Gama Street in Mombasa, Kenya, during the 1930s. Named after the famous Portuguese explorer who reached the Indian Ocean coast of Africa in 1498, this historic street has long been a hub of commercial and cultural exchange between Africa and the wider world. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the narrow street in sunshine. People go about their daily business, some carrying heavy loads on their heads, while others chat and laugh with friends. A car passes by, its headlights cutting through the haze, adding a sense of modernity to the otherwise timeless scene. The buildings lining the street are a mix of architectural styles, reflecting the diverse influences that have shaped Mombasa over the centuries. Some are traditional African mud-brick structures, while others are more European in design, with ornate balconies and wrought-iron railings. Despite the passage of time, Vasco da Gama Street remains a vibrant and dynamic part of Mombasa's rich cultural tapestry. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was more connected than ever before, and the spirit of exploration and discovery was alive and well.
