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 print transports us back to the West Indies in 1922, offering a glimpse into the world of sugar cane production. In this image, we see a wooden, horse-powered sugar cane crushing mill in action. The grinding wheel is turning vigorously as a majestic horse tirelessly powers the machinery. The scene highlights the vital role that animals played in agriculture during this era. The plantation worker stands nearby, overseeing the process with expertise and dedication. This occupation required immense physical strength and skill to operate such complex machinery. The lush natural surroundings provide a picturesque backdrop for this industrious moment. The towering plants remind us of the abundance of nature's resources that were harnessed by humans for economic purposes. This photograph captures an important aspect of life in the West Indies during the early 20th century - one centered around plantations and their reliance on manual labor. It serves as a reminder of both the ingenuity and hardships faced by those involved in sugar cane production. Preserved through time, this monochrome print offers us a window into history - an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since then while appreciating our connection to past generations who shaped our present reality.
