17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 a moment of tranquility and camaraderie among a group of Parsi ladies in Bombay, India. Seated on the steps of a beautiful pool, they engage in animated conversation, their laughter and words carried by the gentle breeze. The ladies, dressed in traditional attire, hold umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The Parsi community, one of the two larger Zoroastrian groups in the Indian subcontinent, traces its origins back over 1,000 years to a group of Iranian Zoroastrians who sought refuge from Muslim persecution in their ancient homeland. Over the centuries, the Parsis have made significant contributions to Indian society, particularly in business, education, and the arts. The historical setting of this photograph, with its ornate architecture and lush greenery, serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Bombay, now known as Mumbai. The pool, a popular gathering place for the Parsi community, adds to the sense of community and tradition that is so deeply rooted in their history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience of the Parsi people, who have maintained their unique cultural identity despite the challenges and changes they have faced over the centuries. It is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the stories and traditions of our past, as we continue to shape the future.
