23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 essence of Ruyigi, Burundi, showcasing a hospital that stands as a testament to the Belgian colonial era. Once serving as a medical facility under colonial rule, this architectural marvel now caters to the needs of a rapidly expanding population in modern times. Located in sub-Saharan Africa's East Africa region, this rural hospital has become an integral part of the local community's healthcare system. Its presence is not only symbolic but also crucial for providing essential medical services to those living in and around Ruyigi. The image showcases the unique blend of colonial modernism and African architecture that characterizes this historic building. The structure stands tall against the backdrop of Burundi's equatorial landscape, reminding us both of its historical significance and its continued relevance today. As doctors and healthcare professionals tirelessly work within these walls, they strive to improve public health outcomes for all residents. This hospital serves as a lifeline for many who would otherwise struggle to access quality medical care due to geographical constraints or limited resources. Through this powerful photograph by TM from Discover Images by AWL, we are reminded of how history intertwines with progress. It prompts us to reflect on the importance of preserving our heritage while adapting it to meet present-day challenges – ultimately ensuring better health outcomes for communities across Africa.
