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.

1. Title: "Island of Curieuse, Seychelles, Indian Ocean - A Serene Haven in the Early 1900s" This evocative photograph captures the enchanting beauty of the Island of Curieuse, located in the Indian Ocean, off the eastern coast of Seychelles. The image, taken around the turn of the 20th century, transports us back in time to a simpler era, where nature reigned supreme. The Island of Curieuse, with its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, is a visual feast for the eyes. The lush greenery of the island, dominated by tall palm trees, creates a striking contrast against the azure backdrop. In the foreground, we see a few traditional huts, built using local materials, which serve as a reminder of the island's rich cultural heritage. The native inhabitants of Curieuse, who lived in harmony with nature, are absent from this scene, allowing us to fully appreciate the raw beauty of the island. The absence of modern structures and commercial development adds to the sense of tranquility and serenity that pervades the image. The Island of Curieuse, with its unspoiled natural splendor, has long been a favorite destination for travelers seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the island's timeless allure and its enduring appeal. This image is part of The On Call in Africa Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and dates back to the early 1900s. It is a testament to the rich history and diverse cultural heritage of the Seychelles, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural beauty of our world for future generations to enjoy.
