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 captures the haunting beauty of a disused military music pavilion in Antsiranana, located in Northern Madagascar. Once a vibrant hub of melodies and celebrations, this colonial bandstand now stands as a poignant reminder of bygone eras. Adjacent to it is an abandoned French military hotel that was left behind when the French army departed between 1972 and 1974. Time has taken its toll on these structures, with the hotel suffering severe damage from a cyclone in 1984, leaving it forever unreconstructed. The image portrays both melancholy and intrigue as nature reclaims what was once man-made. The surrounding African landscape adds to the allure, creating an atmosphere that transports viewers into another time. The photographer's lens skillfully captures the essence of this forgotten place, inviting contemplation about history's imprint on our surroundings. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of how impermanent human creations can be against the forces of nature. This evocative photograph serves as a testament to resilience and adaptation while also highlighting the passage of time. It prompts us to reflect not only on Madagascar's rich cultural heritage but also on our own connection to places marked by abandonment and decay. NP's masterful composition invites us to explore deeper narratives within this single frame captured in Northern Madagascar.
