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 handcolored lithograph, titled "Costumes of Algiers: Jewish Couple, Moor, National Guard, and Divan," is an intriguing glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Algiers during the early 19th century. The image, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's "Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures," showcases the diverse and vibrant costumes of various communities in Algiers, including a Jewish couple, a Moor, a member of the National Guard, and a figure seated on a divan. The Jewish couple is depicted wearing traditional Middle Eastern garb, with the woman donning a veil and the man wearing a flowing robe and a distinctive headdress. The Moor, on the left, is dressed in a hooded cape, a common attire for the Muslim population during this period. The National Guard member, in the foreground, is dressed in a uniform reminiscent of European military attire, reflecting the influence of European powers in the region. The figure on the divan, a traditional Arab seating platform, is dressed in flowing robes and a turban, and holds a pipe in one hand and a book in the other, suggesting a scholar or a man of leisure. The intricate details of their costumes, from the intricate patterns on the fabrics to the ornate jewelry and accessories, offer a window into the unique and complex cultural traditions of Algiers during this time. This ethnographic and anthropological image is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an important historical document, providing valuable insights into the customs, costumes, and people of Algiers during the 19th century. The lithograph, produced by the renowned German publisher Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Algiers and the broader Mediterranean world.
