Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesia
Hevea brasiliensis
Rubberwood plantation in a Sumatran tropical rainforest. Once the trees are 5-6 years old, the harvest can begin: incisions are made orthogonal to the latex vessels, just deep enough to tap the vessels without harming the tree's growth. The sap is collected in a small bowl

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.

Rubber Tapping - Nature's Sweet Symphony in Sumatra!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the harmonious dance between man and nature as rubber tapping takes center stage in a lush Sumatran rainforest. The Para Rubber Trees, standing tall and proud like guardians of the forest, are ready to share their precious sap. As the sun peeks through the dense canopy, skilled hands delicately make incisions on these magnificent trees. With utmost care, they tap into the latex vessels without harming their growth - a true testament to sustainable farming practices. The air is filled with anticipation as small bowls eagerly await their sweet reward. Like tiny nectar-filled chalices, they collect every drop of liquid gold that drips from each tree. This natural elixir will eventually find its way into countless products around the world. Amidst this tropical symphony of sights and sounds, one can't help but marvel at Mother Earth's ingenuity. She has created an ecosystem where humans coexist with wildlife and plants in perfect harmony. So let us raise our glasses (made from sustainably sourced Parawood) to Steffen & Alexandra Sailer for capturing this enchanting moment! Their lens has transported us to Bukit Lawang, where rubber tapping becomes not just a means of livelihood but also a celebration of our planet's abundance. Cheers to Sumatra's vibrant rainforests, thriving habitats teeming with life! Let this image remind us all that together we can cultivate a
