23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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 photo print, titled "A Kabyles Woman, Algeria, 1922" takes us back to a bygone era in North Africa. The artist behind this mesmerizing portrait is Crete, whose talent for capturing the essence of his subjects shines through. The image showcases a Kabyles woman dressed in traditional robes that drape gracefully around her body. Her posture exudes confidence and allure as she delicately places one hand on her head. With a direct gaze that pierces through the lens, she invites us into her world. In her other hand, she holds a jug, symbolizing the daily rituals and responsibilities of life in Algeria during the early 20th century. The contrast between her striking features and the simplicity of her surroundings adds depth to this thought-provoking composition. Crete's attention to detail brings out every nuance of this woman's beauty - from the intricate patterns on her robe to the subtle curves of her face. This evocative portrayal captures not only an individual but also reflects upon the rich cultural heritage of Kabyles women in Algeria. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of their resilience and strength amidst societal norms. It serves as a testament to their contribution to Algerian society while challenging conventional notions about femininity at that time. This remarkable piece is part of "Peoples of All Nations: Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past" edited by JA Hammerton - an invaluable collection preserving diverse cultures for generations
