Africa Child Photo Noir Et Blanc Square Square Format
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
In this photograph taken in 1958 in Africa, we see a group of curious boys inspecting a model of the iconic Volkswagen Beetle. The image captures their fascination and wonder as they gather around the miniature representation of the German car that would soon become a symbol of freedom and adventure. Little did these young boys know that they were witnessing history in the making. Fast forward to July 30,2003, when German car maker Volkswagen bid farewell to its legendary Beetle after nearly 70 years since its launch. With over 21 million units sold worldwide, it had earned its reputation as the most popular car ever produced. The square format adds a timeless quality to this photo, emphasizing the enduring legacy of both the Beetle and this moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of how something as simple as an automobile can transcend borders and cultures, capturing hearts wherever it goes. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the impact that cars have on our lives but also how childhood curiosity knows no bounds. These African boys represent countless individuals who have been captivated by the charm and allure of this beloved vehicle throughout its remarkable journey across continents. This photograph is a testament to human ingenuity, cultural exchange, and shared experiences – all encapsulated within one small model car surrounded by wide-eyed children on an African street corner.
