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 photograph captures the stunning view of Mombasa, Kenya, in the 1930s. The image showcases the picturesque coastline of East Africa, with the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean gently lapping against the golden sands. In the foreground, tall palm trees sway gently in the breeze, their fronds casting dappled shadows on the sand. In the background, the skyline of Mombasa is visible, with its distinctive whitewashed houses and red-tiled roofs nestled among the lush greenery. The historic Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be seen in the distance, its fortified walls and winding streets a testament to the rich history of this ancient port city. Mombasa, located on the eastern coast of Kenya, has long been a melting pot of cultures, with influences from Arab, Portuguese, British, and Swahili traders leaving their mark on the city. The photograph captures a moment in time when the city was still a bustling hub of international trade, with ships from around the world anchored in the harbor. The image transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this exotic destination. With its warm climate, beautiful beaches, and vibrant culture, Mombasa remains a popular tourist destination to this day, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of Kenya and East Africa.
