17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
This print showcases the rich cultural heritage of the BaGanda and other Bantu-speaking peoples of Uganda. It depicts a male member of this African tribe skillfully stripping the bark from a fig tree, using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The process of extracting bark from certain trees is an integral part of their age-old craft, which involves creating cloth for various purposes. In modern times, however, this unique fabric has primarily become associated with shrouds used in burial rituals. The image captures the man's focused expression as he delicately removes strips of bark from the tree trunk. His hands demonstrate years of experience and expertise in handcrafting these intricate textiles. The vibrant colors and textures present in his surroundings reflect both the natural beauty of Uganda and its people's deep connection to their environment. Through this photograph, we are transported into a world where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with contemporary life. It serves as a powerful reminder that despite changing times, some communities continue to honor their ancestral customs and preserve them for future generations to appreciate.
