31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

Grinding Corn in Nigeria - A Glimpse into the Rich Tapestry of Nigerian Domestic Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to 1903, offering a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a Nigerian woman as she grinds corn by hand on a stone. The image, originally published in the Illustrated London News on April 4th, 1903, captures an essential aspect of domesticity and sustenance in Nigeria. In this photograph, we witness the strength and resilience of this unnamed Nigerian woman as she diligently works to provide food for her family. With determination etched on her face, she expertly maneuvers the grinding stone with grace and precision. Her hands tell stories of generations past; they are calloused yet gentle, embodying both tradition and love. The scene is set against a backdrop that hints at simplicity but also reveals intricate details about her surroundings. The worn-out wooden box nearby suggests resourcefulness while emphasizing the importance of preserving every grain.
