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.

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 photo print, we witness the artistry and dedication of a Kenyan fisherman as he meticulously repairs the sail of his wooden sailing boat. Known as mashua, this traditional craft is an integral part of the fishing industry in Kisingitini, a natural harbor nestled on Pate Island within the enchanting Lamu Archipelago. The image showcases the fisherman's expertise and craftsmanship, highlighting his unwavering commitment to maintaining his vessel. With nimble hands and focused eyes, he delicately mends every tear and reinforces each seam with utmost precision. The vibrant sails flutter against the backdrop of a picturesque waterfront, reflecting both resilience and beauty. Donning an embroidered hat known as kofia atop his head and dressed in Islamic attire that resonates with Swahili traditions, this skilled artisan embodies the rich cultural heritage found along Africa's eastern coast. His weathered face tells stories of countless voyages at sea while carrying echoes of generations past who have relied on these boats for their livelihoods. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene captured by Nigel Pavitt from Discover Images by AWL, we are transported into a world where time seems to stand still – where tradition intertwines with modernity amidst breathtaking landscapes. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of human ingenuity harmoniously coexisting with nature's wonders; it encapsulates not only one man's labor but also pays homage to an entire community whose lives revolve around these majestic vessels that navigate through African waters.
