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.

Terrace Tales - Cultivating Joy in the Konso Rift Valley
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, nature's ingenuity meets human resilience as farmers in the Konso Rift Valley conquer steep and mountainous terrain through dry farming on terraces. The vibrant tapestry of sorghum, cassava, sunflowers, and soybeans paints a picture of sustenance for the hardworking people of Konso. As if defying gravity itself, these resourceful farmers have mastered companion planting techniques to maximize their yield. Sorghum stands tall alongside millet while cassava roots dig deep into the red soil. Sunflowers bask under the African sun, providing shade and protection for delicate soybean shoots. It's a harmonious dance between crops that nourish both body and soul. Amidst arid conditions and constant battle against erosion, these resilient peasants have transformed their land into an oasis of life. With each terrace carefully carved into the rugged landscape, they've tamed nature's wild spirit to create fertile pockets where abundance thrives. This print captures not just a moment frozen in time but also tells a story of triumph over adversity. It reminds us that even in remote corners of Ethiopia like Konso, communities work tirelessly to sustain themselves with love for their land. So let this image be a reminder that when humans collaborate with nature's wisdom, miracles happen – turning barren badlands into thriving fields where dreams take root!
