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 evocative photograph captures a lively scene at the beach of Ambodifotatra on Nosy Boraha island, also known as Ile Sainte-Marie, located on the eastern coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. The date of this image is estimated to be around 1908. A large crowd of locals and visitors gather on the sandy shore, enjoying the sunny day and the crystal-clear waters. Women and children play and frolic in the shallows, while men and older boys engage in various activities, such as fishing and boat building. The tall, shady trees along the beach provide a welcome respite from the sun, their branches reaching out towards the water. The serene beauty of the Madagascan islands is on full display, with the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean stretching out towards the horizon. Ambodifotatra, meaning 'good foot' in Malagasy, was a popular destination for European travelers and sailors due to its strategic location and abundant natural resources. Today, the island is known for its rich history, beautiful beaches, and unique cultural heritage.
