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.

Nature's Silent Cry - A Fallen Sahel Warrior
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photo print, we witness the heartbreaking aftermath of human encroachment on Burkina Faso's majestic sahel tree. Once a symbol of resilience and life in the arid landscapes of West Africa, this fallen giant now stands as a stark reminder of our collective responsibility towards the environment. Continual trimming for firewood by local communities has taken its toll on these ancient trees, leaving them vulnerable to irreversible damage. As flames dance around their once lush branches, it is not just wood that turns to ash but also a piece of our planet's soul. Burkina Faso - a country known for its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes - bears witness to this tragedy unfolding before our eyes. The relentless pursuit of survival forces people to make difficult choices, often at nature's expense. Yet, it is crucial that we find sustainable alternatives to preserve both livelihoods and ecosystems. Let us reflect upon this powerful image and remember that every action has consequences. Together, we can rewrite the narrative by promoting responsible practices and nurturing harmony between humans and nature. Only then can we hope to revive these silent sentinels from their slumber and restore balance in our fragile world.
