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 showcases the magnificent granite head of Ptolemy VI, a prominent figure from the Egyptian civilization during the Ptolemaic Period in the 2nd century B. C. The statue exudes an aura of ancient grandeur as it stands against a striking black background. Despite its age and damage, this remarkable carving still manages to convey the rich history and cultural significance of Egypt. Taken in a studio setting, every intricate detail of this anthropomorphic face is beautifully captured, allowing us to marvel at the craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece. The male likeness depicted here transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into traditional culture and reminding us of our connection to the past. As an archaeological artifact, this granite sculpture holds immense historical value. It serves as a testament to Alexandria's prominence during that era and provides valuable insights into ancient Egyptian society. This image does justice to its subject matter by highlighting its uniqueness and preserving it for future generations.
