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 captures a moment in time, circa 1865, showcasing the life of a Japanese coolie or unskilled laborer. The image portrays a lone man carrying a long rod of bamboo on his shoulder, symbolizing the arduous nature of his work. In Japan, these men are referred to as nin-soku or help men. The composition exudes strength and resilience as the coolie navigates through an unknown landscape with determination etched across his face. His weathered attire and worn-out sandals speak volumes about the hardships he endures daily to make ends meet. Photographed by Felice Beato, renowned for his documentation of Asian cultures during this era, this portrait offers us a glimpse into the lives of those who often go unnoticed – individuals whose contributions form the backbone of society's progress. The monochrome format adds depth and intensity to the image while emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that behind every great achievement lies countless untold stories like that of this humble porter. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an invitation to reflect upon our shared humanity and appreciate those who have labored tirelessly throughout history.
