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
In this photo print, we see a smartly dressed Herero woman exuding elegance and confidence as she patiently waits for a bus. Her vibrant African culture is beautifully showcased through her bright dress and unique head dress, which holds a fascinating history. The origins of her elaborate attire can be traced back to the 19th century when German missionaries arrived in Africa and expressed disapproval towards what they perceived as immodest dressing among the tribe. Despite their intentions, these missionaries inadvertently sparked an evolution in fashion within the Herero community. Today, this woman proudly wears her traditional dress with pride, symbolizing resilience and cultural identity. Her striking hat style adds an extra touch of sophistication to her ensemble. As she smiles radiantly at the camera lens, it becomes evident that happiness transcends boundaries of time and place. This lady's joyous expression reflects not only personal contentment but also serves as a testament to the strength of African women who have persevered through centuries of adversity. This photograph captures more than just an individual; it encapsulates the rich heritage and diversity found within African cultures. It reminds us all of the power that lies in embracing our roots while celebrating our uniqueness. NP from Discover Images by AWL has skillfully captured this moment, allowing viewers to appreciate both the beauty of this remarkable woman and the story behind her extraordinary attire.
