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 the Hindu festival "Mahamakam" in all its glory. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, it offers a glimpse into this religious event that took place in Kumbakonam, India. The image showcases thousands of pilgrims gathered at the Mahamakam tank on the banks of River Cauvery. The festival is known for its ritualistic mud immersion and bathing, believed to cleanse one's sins. The crowd is a vibrant mix of Indian locals and German visitors from Baden, Germany. Intriguingly, amidst this spiritual gathering, we see a group of German swimmers enjoying themselves in the water. This unexpected sight adds an interesting contrast between religious devotion and recreational activity. The photograph beautifully captures both cultural diversity and unity as people from different backgrounds come together to celebrate this significant Hindu festival. It serves as a testament to how traditions transcend borders and bring people together regardless of their nationality or ethnicity. This stunning piece not only documents an important moment in history but also highlights the universal nature of human experiences such as faith, celebration, and joy. It reminds us that despite our differences, we are all connected through shared emotions and rituals that define our cultures.
