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.

Jamaica - Harvesting the Sugar Cane Crop: A Glimpse into the Past of Jamaica's Sugarcane Industry This photograph, taken circa 1910s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Jamaica's sugarcane industry. The image depicts a large, bustling estate where Jamaican laborers, dressed in traditional clothing, are seen working together to harvest the ripe sugarcane crop. The scene is set against the backdrop of lush, green foliage, with the sun casting long shadows over the rolling hills. Oxen are used to pull heavy loads of sugarcane, their powerful muscles straining as they plod along the muddy ground. The laborers, some wielding machetes, expertly cut the canes at their base, ensuring that only the sweetest and most productive sections are harvested. The canes are then carefully loaded onto the carts, ready to be transported to the mill for processing. This photograph is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Jamaican people during the sugarcane harvest season. The industry was a significant contributor to Jamaica's economy, with sugar being one of the country's major exports. The image also highlights the importance of oxen in agricultural work during this period, before the widespread use of machinery. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the history and culture of Jamaica's sugarcane industry. The scene is a reminder of the island's rich agricultural heritage and the resilience of its people.
