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
This print from May 1901 captures a significant moment in the history of Algeria. European local workers and engineers are seen standing proudly in front of a derrick, watching as oil flows elegantly from a pipe into a tank. The scene is filled with an air of excitement and achievement, as these individuals play a crucial role in the burgeoning oil industry of the region.
The image not only showcases the technical expertise and hard work of these laborers but also highlights the impact of colonialism on North Africa during this period. The presence of French influence is evident, as indicated by the attire and demeanor of the workers.
As we delve into this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when industrialization was rapidly transforming societies across the globe. The juxtaposition of traditional Arab culture with modern engineering practices creates a fascinating visual narrative that speaks volumes about the complexities of history.
Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse of an era marked by innovation, exploration, and cultural exchange. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected our world has always been and how each individual plays a part in shaping its future.
