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 photograph, titled "BAGHDAD: NUNS, 1932" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image captures a group of British nuns standing outside a magnificent palace in Baghdad on the 6th of October, 1932. The nuns, dressed in their distinctive Catholic habits and cornettes, stand tall with an air of grace and determination. They are surrounded by soldiers wearing uniforms that symbolize the colonial presence during this era of Iraq's history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics between Britain and Iraq during the mandate period. It serves as a visual reminder of the influence exerted by foreign powers over local communities. The imposing palace behind them stands as both a symbol of power and opulence but also represents the clash between traditional Iraqi culture and Western influences brought about by colonialism. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only religious figures dedicated to their faith but also individuals caught up in larger historical forces beyond their control. This image invites reflection on themes such as identity, religion, cultural exchange, and imperialism. "BAGHDAD: NUNS, 1932" is more than just a photograph; it is an evocative window into an era marked by complexity and change—a testament to how images can transport us through time while sparking contemplation about our shared human experience.
