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 gathering of Abbysinian Clergy in Ethiopia during the 1930s, a time when Coptic Christianity held a profound influence over the cultural and spiritual fabric of the region. The image transports us back in time, offering a rare glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The Abbysinian Clergy, dressed in their distinctive robes and headdresses, are seen gathered around what appears to be a ceremonial drum. The drum, an essential instrument in Ethiopian religious and cultural life, is believed to have been used to call the faithful to prayer and to accompany hymns and chants during religious services. The clergy members, with their crosses draped around their necks and held aloft, exude a sense of solemnity and reverence. Their faces, etched with the lines of age and wisdom, speak of a deep connection to their faith and to the communities they serve. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of religion and tradition in Ethiopia, a country where Christianity has been practiced since the 4th century. It offers a glimpse into a world that has largely been preserved from the outside world, a world where the rhythms of daily life have been shaped by the teachings of the Coptic Orthodox Church. The image also serves as a reminder of the complex and rich history of Ethiopia, a country that has long been a crossroads of diverse cultures and influences. From its ancient rock-hewn churches to its vibrant markets and colorful festivals, Ethiopia continues to captivate the imagination of travelers and scholars alike.
