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 captures the mesmerizing guardstones at Vatadage, a remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. Standing proudly outside the Quadrangle, these ancient architectural marvels serve as both land marks and symbols of protection. With their intricate carvings and ornate details, they offer a glimpse into the rich heritage and historical significance of this archaeological site. Dating back to the 12th century, these ruins are a testament to the glorious past of Sri Lanka's cultural and religious history. The close-up shot beautifully showcases the vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship that have withstood the test of time. As you immerse yourself in this image, you can almost feel transported to an era long gone. The photograph perfectly captures the serene atmosphere surrounding these guardstones; there is no one in sight, allowing us to appreciate their grandeur undisturbed. The focus on foreground highlights every minute detail while emphasizing their importance within South Asian culture. As we gaze upon these magnificent remnants from centuries ago, we are reminded of our connection to history and our responsibility to preserve such treasures for future generations. This print serves as a visual reminder of how architecture intertwines with religion, travel experiences merge with cultural exploration, and how even ruins can hold immense beauty worth cherishing.
