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 print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 1932, capturing the essence of Nejaf, the first sacred city of Shiite Muslims in Iraq. The image focuses on a hauntingly beautiful necropolis, where rows upon rows of graves stretch out before us. In the foreground, we see the resting places of the poor - simple headstones that stand as humble memorials to their lives. What strikes us most about this scene is its lack of grandeur or ostentation. Unlike many other cemeteries and burial grounds around the world, there are no towering monuments or elaborate structures here. Instead, it is a place where simplicity reigns supreme; mere headstones mark each grave with quiet dignity. The significance of Nejaf as a holy site for Shiite Muslims cannot be overstated. It holds immense religious importance and draws countless pilgrims seeking solace and spiritual connection. This photograph offers a glimpse into this sacred space during an era long gone by. As we gaze at this poignant snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of our own mortality but also of the power and resilience found within faith and devotion. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in death's embrace, equality prevails – rich or poor alike find their final resting place side by side in this hallowed ground.
