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
Captured in the vibrant hues of the 1970s, this print takes us back to a bygone era at the heart of ancient Egypt. Against the backdrop of the awe-inspiring Great Pyramid and Sphinx of Giza, two local Egyptians engage in their daily hustle, selling postcards and refreshing Coca-Cola to curious tourists. The date etched on this timeless image is May 29th, 1976. The scorching desert sun casts its golden glow upon these resilient individuals as they navigate through an environment steeped in history and mystery. With umbrellas shielding them from its relentless rays, they stand proudly amidst a landscape that has witnessed centuries unfold. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers glimpses into both cultural exchange and economic survival. As visitors flock to marvel at these iconic landmarks, our Egyptian hosts seize the opportunity to share their heritage through postcards while quenching thirst with an ice-cold Coke. John Smith's lens immortalizes this scene with remarkable clarity and depth, allowing us to relive an era when Africa's ancient wonders beckoned explorers from around the world. This photograph stands as a testament to human resilience against nature's harsh elements while reminding us of our shared fascination for monumental legacies left behind by civilizations long gone.
