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 titled "Inhospitable" transports viewers to the remote and desolate semi-arid region northwest of Lodwar, Kenya. The image showcases the rugged beauty of this African landscape, characterized by its barrenness and dryness. Every hill and mountain in sight is a product of volcanic activity, adding an element of geological intrigue to the scene. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this inhospitable terrain through the presence of tall termite mounds scattered across the land. These mounds not only serve as markers dotting the vast expanse but also reveal valuable insights into the soil composition due to their distinct colors. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Earth's diverse landscapes and how some regions remain uninhabitable for humans due to their harsh conditions. The Great Rift Valley system, known for its volcanism and vulcanism, plays a significant role in shaping this particular area's topography. With sparse vegetation and lava debris strewn about, it becomes evident why human settlement is scarce here. Yet amidst such apparent hostility lies a certain allure that draws us closer to appreciate nature's raw power. This awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to both Africa's untamed wilderness and our planet's remarkable geological wonders. It invites contemplation on our place within these vast landscapes while reminding us that even in seemingly inhospitable environments, life finds ways to adapt and thrive.
