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 print takes us back to the enchanting city of Khartoum in Sudan, on a serene day in December 1924. The focal point of this image is the magnificent Gordon College, seen from the North West angle. Standing tall amidst a backdrop of lush trees, this grand building exudes an air of elegance and intellectual pursuit. The Gordon College holds immense historical significance as a beacon of education in Africa during the early twentieth century. Named after General Charles George Gordon, also known as "Gordon of Khartoum" it served as a hub for knowledge and enlightenment. Students from diverse backgrounds flocked here to expand their horizons and shape their futures. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this photograph, transporting us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme. It captures the essence of European influence on African soil while showcasing the harmonious coexistence between nature and architecture. Preserved by Central News, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when education was highly valued and sought after even in remote corners of our world. As we admire this remarkable piece from TopFoto's collection, let us appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging that our thirst for knowledge remains timeless across generations.
