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 striking photograph captures the captivating gaze and resilient spirit of a young Gabonese woman from Africa. Hailing from the Central African nation of Gabon, she proudly displays the rich cultural heritage of her people through the intricate body scarification adorning the upper section of her right arm, near her shoulder. The intricate patterns etched into her skin tell a story of her lineage, strength, and rite of passage. The scars, a testament to her heritage, are a reminder of the deep-rooted traditions and history of her community. The necklace made of beads and strings adds to her regal appearance, framing her elegant neck and accentuating her traditional head dress. Body scarification has been an integral part of Gabonese culture for centuries, serving various purposes such as marking rites of passage, signifying social status, and symbolizing protection. This young woman's adornments are not only a reflection of her personal identity but also a connection to her ancestors and the proud history of her people. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant and rich cultural tapestry of Africa, showcasing the unique beauty and resilience of its people. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse histories and traditions that make up our global community.
