Fabulous Arab Doorway - Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia
An absolutely fabulous Arab Doorway in the port town of Sidi Bou Said Tunisia, with a pair of knockers for the main decorated wooden doors (for ease of knocking when on a camel or on horseback?) and an additional knocker for the smaller inset door, being rapped by a visitor, keen to gain entrance. If the wonders beyond match the ornate glories of the door, then one can appreciate his keenness to gain admittance. Date: circa 1910s

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 photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases an absolutely fabulous Arab Doorway located in the enchanting port town of Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia. The ornate doorway, adorned with intricate carvings and elaborate designs, stands as a testament to the rich architectural heritage of North Africa. The main doors, with their pair of brass knockers, are a striking feature, presumably added for ease of use when approaching on a camel or horseback. An additional knocker for the smaller inset door adds to the doorway's grandeur, as a visitor eagerly raps on the surface, anticipating the wonders that lie beyond. The cobblestone street, with its archway and stepped entrance, further accentuates the allure of this complex Arab house. The intricate stonework and masonry, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of Tunisian artisans, is a feast for the eyes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and historical significance of Sidi Bou Said, a town renowned for its unique architectural style and cultural heritage.
