31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print titled "An old Kikuyu lady picks coffee Taken in the 1960s" we are transported back in time to witness a traditional way of life that has long vanished. The image showcases an elderly Kikuyu woman adorned in vibrant tribal attire, her necklaces gleaming with orange beads, as she diligently works on a Kenyan farm. The photograph not only captures the essence of coffee farming but also serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage embedded within African communities. The intricate ear ornaments worn by the lady highlight the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent among Kikuyu women during that era. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery and bright blue skies, this historic picture offers us a glimpse into the daily labor and dedication required for cultivating crops in Subukia Valley, Nakuru District. It symbolizes the resilience and hard work exhibited by generations past who relied on agriculture for their livelihoods. As we marvel at this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate its significance beyond mere aesthetics. It is an ode to African customs, traditions, and ancestral wisdom passed down through generations. This remarkable piece from Discover Images by AWL invites us to reflect upon our own connection with nature's bounty while honoring those who came before us.
