FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 titled "MACAO: BEGGAR, 1859" takes us back in time to the Portuguese colony on the coast of China. The image showcases a beggar, his weathered face telling stories of hardship and struggle. With a bowl and basket by his side, he relies on the kindness of others for sustenance. The wood engraving, created by an English artist in 1859, beautifully captures the essence of this unidentified man's life. His bare feet suggest poverty and vulnerability as he navigates through the streets of Macao. Clad in rags that barely shield him from the elements, he represents one among many who faced similar circumstances during this era. Macao itself was a bustling port city under Portuguese rule at that time. This photograph offers a glimpse into daily life within this colonial setting while shedding light on social disparities prevalent during that period. As we observe this poignant scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder to appreciate our own privileges and consider those less fortunate than ourselves. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical moment with great care and attention to detail, allowing us to reflect upon humanity's shared experiences across different cultures and eras.
