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 the bustling energy of a crowded marketplace in Dakar, Senegal during the 1930s. The capital city of Senegal, then a French colony known as French West Africa, was a vibrant hub of trade and commerce. The image showcases the Senegalese people, dressed in traditional attire, engaged in lively negotiations with traders from various ethnic groups. The market, filled with an array of colorful textiles, fresh produce, and intricately crafted goods, spills out onto the streets, where cars and horse-drawn carts navigate the narrow passages with caution. The atmosphere is alive with the sounds of haggling, the aromas of spices and cooked food, and the sights of bustling activity. The tradesmen, both Senegalese and European, are seen selling their wares with determination and enthusiasm, creating a dynamic scene that reflects the rich cultural diversity and economic vitality of the region. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and commerce of Dakar during the 1930s.
