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 picturesque scene of Malagasy fishing boats peacefully beached in the large protected bay at Antsiranana, affectionately known as Diego. Named after the Portuguese captain, Diego Suarez, who first sailed there in 1543, this coastal region holds immense historical significance. The term "Antsiranana" translates to "port" in the local Malagasy language, emphasizing its importance as a hub for maritime activities. Diego's deep-water harbor is encircled by majestic hills, adding to its strategic value for Madagascar. However, it is not just its practicality that makes this place remarkable; it also holds cultural and spiritual significance for the local people. Nestled within the bay lies a small island with steep sides that are considered sacred by the community. As a result, setting foot on this island is strictly prohibited. The image captures both traditional dugout canoes and modern outriggers dotting the pristine waters of Africa's coastline. These fishing boats with their vibrant sails create a stunning contrast against the serene backdrop of sea and sand. The presence of these fishermen going about their daily routines adds life and movement to an already breathtaking landscape. This awe-inspiring photograph from Discover Images by AWL transports viewers to this remote corner of Madagascar where nature's beauty intertwines seamlessly with history and culture. It serves as a reminder of how our world continues to hold hidden gems waiting to be explored and appreciated.
