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
. In this snapshot, we witness an innovative solution to combat erosion in the beautiful country of Mayotte, nestled in the Indian Ocean. As nature's protectorate, locals have come up with a brilliant idea to recycle old car tyres and give them a new purpose - safeguarding their beloved island from erosion. With determination and eco-consciousness at its core, these tireless individuals are seen working together like busy bees. Armed with shovels and unwavering dedication, they construct an impressive embankment using discarded tires along the roadside. This ingenious technique not only provides protection against soil erosion but also showcases the power of human creativity when it comes to preserving our planet. As each tire is carefully installed by these environmentally conscious warriors, they symbolize hope for a sustainable future. With every step taken towards building this unique road construction project, they remind us that even small acts can make a significant impact on our environment. This heartwarming image serves as a reminder that recycling isn't just about sorting cans or bottles; it's about finding creative ways to repurpose materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. So let's take inspiration from these resourceful individuals who are turning trash into treasure! Together, we can roll towards a greener future where waste becomes our greatest ally in protecting Mother Earth.
