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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by JWL, we are transported to the mystical lands of Ethiopia's Omo River. Here, an elder of the Karo tribe finds solace and rest with his head delicately placed upon a wooden head-rest. This unique piece not only provides comfort but also safeguards his intricate clay hairdo, a symbol of pride and cultural identity. Every man in the Karo tribe carries such a headrest, ingeniously designed to double as a stool when needed. In this particular instance, our subject has taken advantage of its versatility by attaching his snuff box to it—an essential accessory for moments of relaxation. The photograph offers us a glimpse into the indigenous people's way of life along the Omo Delta—a world where body adornment and decoration hold great significance. The tribal elder's serene expression reveals both wisdom and weariness accumulated over years spent protecting their ancestral traditions. As we observe this scene unfold before us, we cannot help but marvel at the resilience and beauty that emanate from every aspect—the vibrant body painting adorning their skin, the meticulous attention paid to hairstyles, and even something as seemingly simple as a wooden head-rest turned work-of-art. JWL's lens transports us beyond borders into an African realm rich in culture and heritage. It is through images like these that we gain insight into worlds far removed from our own while celebrating humanity's diversity across continents.
