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 historical print captures a significant moment in Italian history, as 20,000 Italian peasants arrive at the harbor of Tripoli to embark on Il Duce's resettlement plan in Libya. The image reflects the era of colonialism and political events that shaped Italy's relationship with North Africa in 1938.
The sight of the massive ships docking at Tripoli symbolizes the ambitious travel plans undertaken by these Italians seeking new opportunities and land for resettlement. The determination and hope in their eyes are palpable as they step onto foreign soil, ready to start a new chapter in their lives.
The photograph serves as a reminder of the complex history of migration and colonization that has defined nations like Italy. It highlights the impact of political decisions on ordinary people, who were willing to leave behind everything familiar for a chance at a better future.
As we reflect on this scene from nearly a century ago, it is important to remember the human stories behind such monumental events. Each face in this photo represents a unique journey filled with challenges and aspirations, making it an invaluable piece of historical documentation.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this snapshot of Italian emigration to Libya with great care, allowing us to glimpse into a pivotal moment in time that continues to resonate today.
