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.

This print titled "Islamic Contortions" captures a unique and mesmerizing aspect of Islamic prayer practices. In this image from 1880, we see some devout Moslems choosing to twist and contort their bodies while praying, bending backwards to a remarkable degree. This display of physical devotion is both fascinating and awe-inspiring, showcasing the deep spiritual connection that these individuals have with their faith.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated, as it provides a glimpse into the religious rituals and traditions of Islam during that time period. The dedication and commitment shown by these worshippers in bending and twisting their bodies in such a manner is truly remarkable.
It is important to note that these contortions are not indicative of all followers of Islam, but rather a practice chosen by some devout believers. While it may seem extreme or fanatical to outsiders, it is essential to respect the diversity within religious practices and understand that each individual expresses their faith in different ways.
Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Islam, shedding light on the complexities and nuances within the religion.
