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
In this photograph taken in Algeria, Africa in 1922, we are transported back to a time when the art of barbering was an integral part of daily life. The image showcases a street barber diligently attending to his client's hair, capturing the essence of their interaction and the cultural significance behind it. The composition beautifully captures the simplicity and authenticity of this scene. The street setting adds a touch of rawness and realism, emphasizing the connection between these two individuals from different walks of life. As we observe closely, we can almost hear snippets of conversation floating through the air as they engage in small talk or discuss matters close to their hearts. Donald McLeish's artistic eye has immortalized this moment forever, allowing us to appreciate not only the skillful hands at work but also the rich tapestry that is Algerian culture. This photograph serves as a testament to how barbers play an essential role beyond just grooming; they become confidants and friends who listen intently while shaping one's appearance. As we delve into history through images like these, we gain insight into how professions have evolved over time while still maintaining their core purpose - connecting people within communities. It reminds us that even amidst societal changes and advancements, certain traditions remain steadfastly rooted in our collective memory. This print by Donald McLeish is not merely a snapshot frozen in time; it is an invitation for us to reflect on our shared humanity across continents and centuries.
