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 enchanting house of Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) nestled in the suburbs of Nairobi, Kenya. The exterior of this remarkable structure showcases a blend of contemporary architecture and traditional African influences, making it a true gem in East Africa's vibrant landscape. The image invites us to step into the world of literature and travel as we admire the home that once belonged to one of Africa's most celebrated authors. Karen Blixen, also known by her pen name Isak Dinesen, found inspiration within these walls for her renowned memoir "Out of Africa". It is here where she penned tales that would captivate readers worldwide with their vivid descriptions and deep connection to the African continent. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every detail: from the single-storey design that harmonizes with its surroundings to the rich colors that bring life to this photograph. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time, imagining Blixen herself strolling through these grounds or finding solace on her veranda overlooking Kenya's breathtaking landscapes. This print serves as a visual testament not only to Blixen's literary legacy but also as an invitation for travelers seeking unique destinations. The house stands proudly as a symbol of cultural heritage and beckons visitors from around the world who are eager to explore East Africa's wonders firsthand.
