17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 essence of a bygone era in the heart of an Egyptian village in 1912. The image showcases a thriving pottery shop, where local artisans skillfully create and sell their intricately designed wares. The shop, filled with the warm glow of sunlight filtering through the open doorway, is a testament to the rich cultural traditions that have been passed down through generations. The pottery shop, with its rustic shelves and earthen pots, is a hub of activity. Men and women, dressed in traditional Egyptian garb, work diligently at their potter's wheels, shaping and molding the clay into various forms. Their deft movements and focused expressions reveal their deep connection to their craft. The regional pottery trade has been an integral part of Egyptian life for thousands of years, and this shop is a living example of that legacy. The pots, adorned with intricate designs inspired by the natural world, are used for various purposes, including cooking, storage, and water transport. The bustling shop attracts a steady stream of customers, who haggle over prices and inspect the merchandise with great care. The exchange of goods and stories creates a vibrant atmosphere, as the community comes together to celebrate the beauty and utility of these handcrafted creations. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of an Egyptian village in the early 20th century, showcasing the enduring tradition of pottery and the vital role it plays in the lives of the people. The scene is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the value of artisanal craftsmanship.
