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.

This evocative photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this North African city. The El Krana Souk, also known as the Old Souk or the Souq El Bled, is a labyrinthine marketplace teeming with an array of sights, sounds, and smells. Here, vendors and shopkeepers display their wares with pride, inviting customers to explore their stalls. The scene captures a busy street lined with shops and stalls, each one bursting with an assortment of goods. Baskets, pots, and pans are stacked high, ready for purchase. The shopkeeper in this image, with a friendly expression and a turban adorning his head, engages with a potential customer. The El Krana Souk has been a vital part of Tunisian life for centuries, serving as a hub for commerce and social interaction. Its rich history can be traced back to the Phoenicians, who established the city of Tunis over three thousand years ago. Over the centuries, the market has evolved, reflecting the influences of various civilizations, including the Romans, Arabs, and Ottomans. The El Krana Souk remains a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering an authentic Tunisian experience.
