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 captures the essence of a young Soninke girl from Mali adorned in an extraordinary collection of beads and a beaded headdress. The Soninke people, also known as the Sarakole, Seraculeh, or Serahuli, are an ethnic group belonging to the larger Mande family, which originated from the Bafour region. This image, estimated to have been taken around 1930, showcases the unique and intricate traditional dress of the Soninke women. The girl's face is framed by a stunning beaded headdress, which is a symbol of her cultural heritage. Her nose is pierced with a ring, and her ears are adorned with elegant earrings. The beads, made from glass, shells, or seeds, are meticulously strung together to create intricate patterns and designs. The unusual combination of colors and textures adds to the overall beauty and allure of the ensemble. The Soninke people, who are predominantly farmers and livestock herders, have a rich history that spans over a thousand years. Their traditional dress, like that of the young girl in the photograph, reflects their deep connection to their West African roots and the Saharan region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and cultural traditions of the Soninke people. The intricate beadwork and the girl's striking facial features make this photograph a truly stunning and unusual portrait. The beauty of the image lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in the historical significance it holds, offering a glimpse into the unique and vibrant culture of the Soninke people.
