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 photograph, taken circa 1920, captures the serene scene of Freetown's coastline in West Africa. The image showcases a collection of traditional dugout canoes, patiently waiting on the tranquil water's edge for the arrival of steamers. The canoes, handcrafted from a single tree trunk, have been a vital mode of transportation for the local communities in Sierra Leone for centuries. The steamers, with their distinctive tall smokestacks, can be seen anchored in the distance. The contrast between the ancient and the modern is striking, as the traditional canoes, with their simple sails, stand in stark contrast to the advanced steam-powered boats. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the water in a sepia hue. The calm bay, dotted with fishing boats and the occasional sailing vessel, creates a picturesque tableau of life along the Sierra Leonean coast. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Freetown, a city steeped in African heritage and tradition. It is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of the past and the present, as well as the resilience and adaptability of communities in the face of changing times.
