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 the spirit of traditional folk dancing in Duras, Lot-et-Garonne, France, during the late 1960s. The scene unfolds in an open-air setting, with men and women dressed in their finest traditional attire, coming together to celebrate their cultural heritage through dance. The piper in the foreground, dressed in a white shirt and wearing a tartan hat, sets the rhythm for the lively troupe. The dancers move in synchronized steps, their faces expressing joy and enthusiasm as they connect with one another and the music. The rolling hills and verdant landscapes of the Garonne region provide a picturesque backdrop to this timeless moment. The image transports us back to a simpler era, where the preservation and celebration of local customs and traditions were a source of pride and community spirit. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural tapestry that exists within the people of France and the importance of preserving and sharing these traditions with future generations.
