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 moment in time from the 1910s, as Basque women make their way to the market through the picturesque streets of a French Pyrenean village. Dressed in their traditional attire, the women balance large woven baskets, or panniers, atop mules or donkeys, skillfully navigating the cobbled streets and ancient drawbridge. The rugged terrain of the Pyrenees Mountains provides a breathtaking backdrop to their journey, with the sun casting long shadows over the landscape. The women's vibrant, flowing skirts and intricately patterned aprons contrast sharply with the rustic surroundings, adding a splash of color to the scene. Their faces are etched with the lines of hard work and determination, as they make their way to the market to sell their wares and purchase essentials for their families. The mules and donkeys, a common mode of transportation in the region, plod along steadily, their burdens a testament to their strength and endurance. The women's baskets are carefully balanced, filled with fresh produce, cheese, and other goods, as they make their way to the bustling marketplace. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Basque people during this era, providing a window into a time when travel was more laborious and the connection between the land, its people, and their traditions was deeply rooted. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of rural communities, and the beauty and charm of the French Pyrenees.
