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 captures a Bulgarian soldier indulging in the ancient tradition of smoking a Hookah in the 19th century. The soldier is depicted sitting comfortably, puffing on the ornate waterpipe with an air of relaxation and contemplation. His uniform and weaponry hint at a time long past, when soldiers relied on defensive weapons like rifles and bayonets for protection.
The intricate details of the soldier's attire and surroundings provide a glimpse into Bulgarian history during this era. The hookah, also known as nargileh or shisha, adds an exotic touch to the scene, showcasing the cultural diversity of Bulgaria.
As tobacco smoke swirls around him, one can almost imagine the soldier lost in thought amidst the chaos of battle or perhaps reminiscing about home. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when smoking was not only common but also considered fashionable.
This historical photograph from El Mundo en la Mano pub. 1875 offers a rare glimpse into everyday life for Bulgarian soldiers in the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how traditions like smoking hookah have stood the test of time, connecting us to our past while sparking curiosity about what life was like centuries ago.
