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.

1. Title: "Hairdressing in Sierra Leone, West Africa: A Timeless Tradition" 2.. This photograph, taken circa 1930s, showcases an intimate moment in the daily lives of women in Sierra Leone, West Africa, as they engage in the traditional practice of hairdressing. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of community, connection, and the importance of personal appearance in their culture. Three women, dressed in vibrant, colorful fabrics, gather around a young woman, who sits comfortably on a low stool. The hairdresser skillfully combs and shapes her hair, using a set of handcrafted combs made from various materials like wood, animal bone, and shells. The women's faces are etched with expressions of concentration, support, and admiration. The woman's hair, styled in an elaborate Afro, is parted meticulously, revealing the intricate braiding patterns that will soon follow. The Afro hairstyle, a symbol of pride and identity, is a testament to the rich heritage and resilience of the people of Sierra Leone. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, further emphasizing the connection between nature and the people of this region. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring traditions that have shaped the lives of generations in West Africa and the importance of preserving and celebrating cultural heritage. The women's warm smiles and the gentle touch of their hands as they work together, create a sense of unity and sisterhood. This heartwarming moment in time stands as a powerful reminder of the strength and beauty that lies within the communities of Sierra Leone and the importance of preserving and celebrating their rich cultural heritage.
