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 at Abziza Farm, located in the picturesque region of BÚ«® MÚ▓Ñd, Algeria, during the early 1910s. The image showcases the east side of the villa, a striking example of French colonial architecture, with its whitewashed walls, red-tiled roof, and ornate wrought-iron balconies. In the foreground, farm workers, dressed in traditional Algerian garb, make their way down a shady orchard, their faces shaded from the sun by broad-brimmed hats. The lush, verdant trees, heavy with fruit, provide a welcome respite from the heat of the North African sun. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and productivity, as the workers go about their daily tasks, tending to the land and harvesting the bountiful crops. The farm, which was likely owned by a French colonial family, was a symbol of prosperity and progress during the colonial era, with its modern irrigation systems, European-style villas, and large-scale agricultural operations. Despite the idyllic appearance of this photograph, it is important to remember that the colonial period was marked by complex and often contentious relationships between European colonizers and the indigenous population. The workers in this image, like many others, were likely subjected to harsh working conditions and low wages, making this image a poignant reminder of the complex history of colonialism in North Africa.
