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 Artistry - A Tapestry of Life and Erosion in Konso, Rift Valley!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by DanitaDelimont. com, we are transported to the breathtaking territory of the Konso people in Ethiopia's Rift Valley. The image showcases a mesmerizing blend of vibrant colors and textures that tell a unique story about soil erosion and sustainable farming practices. As we gaze at the picture-perfect terraces carved into the arid landscape, we discover an ingenious agricultural technique employed by the resourceful Konso community. Sorghum (millet), cassava (manioc), sunflowers, and soybeans dance harmoniously together in companion planting. These staple foods not only nourish their bellies but also help prevent further soil erosion. The rich red soil contrasts beautifully with the dry badlands surrounding it, reminding us of nature's delicate balance between growth and decay. It is a testament to both human resilience and Mother Earth's ability to adapt. This photograph captures more than just stunning scenery; it encapsulates centuries-old wisdom passed down through generations. We can almost hear whispers from ancient ancestors guiding these hardworking peasants as they till their land amidst Eastern Africa's dramatic volcanic backdrop. So let this awe-inspiring snapshot serve as a reminder that even in harsh conditions, life finds a way to flourish—and perhaps inspire us all to cherish our planet's natural wonders just a little bit more!
