17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Troy, as discovered by the renowned archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in the 1800s. The hand-colored woodcut beautifully depicts a 19th-century illustration of this historic site, showcasing its rich heritage and classical beauty. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are transported to a world filled with ancient traditions and a sense of wonder. The image captures the essence of an era long gone, where civilizations thrived and legends were born. It is a testament to the enduring fascination with antiquity and our desire to connect with our past. The Turkish caravan passing through adds an exotic touch, reminding us that Troy was once at the crossroads between East and West. Troy holds immense historical significance as it is believed to be the setting for Homer's epic poem "The Iliad" and the legendary Trojan War. This archaeological site in Anatolia has been meticulously preserved over centuries, allowing us glimpses into one of humanity's most iconic stories. As we admire this piece of art from North Wind Picture Archives, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us through time.
