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
1. Title: "A Glimpse of Luanda Harbour: Banco de Angola in the 1940s" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the majestic Banco de Angola, the central bank of Angola, nestled along the picturesque Luanda harbour in the 1940s. The image transports us back in time, offering a historical perspective of this vibrant African city during the forties. The Banco de Angola, with its imposing architecture, stands proudly on the waterfront, its grandeur reflected in the tranquil bay. The bank's classical design, with its arched windows and intricate details, is a testament to the architectural elegance of the era. The image also reveals the bustling activity of the harbour, with ships anchored in the distance and local fishermen preparing their nets on the shore. Luanda, the capital city of Angola, was a significant port during the colonial era, and this photograph offers a glimpse into its rich maritime history. The image also highlights the unique blend of cultures that characterized the city during this period, with European influences evident in the architecture and the African influence in the daily life of the local population. The photograph's historical significance lies in its ability to capture a moment in time, offering a window into the past and shedding light on the evolution of Luanda as a city and Angola as a nation. The image also serves as a reminder of the important role that banks played in the economic and financial development of colonial territories, shaping the economic landscape of the present day.
