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.

1. Title: "A Young Water Carrier of Blantyre, Malawi: Balancing the Weight of Tradition" Amidst the lush greenery and vibrant colors of Blantyre, Malawi, in the early 20th century, a young girl carries a large pot of water on her head, skillfully maintaining her balance. Dressed in a simple yet elegant necklace, her youthful face reflects the determination and resilience of her people. This evocative image, captured circa 1920, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Malawian community during the British colonial era. The young water carrier's graceful posture and the harmonious arrangement of her surroundings evoke a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. The intricately designed necklace she wears, adorned with beads and other natural materials, symbolizes her cultural heritage and the rich traditions of her community. The pot, a vital necessity for survival, is balanced precariously yet confidently on her head, showcasing her strength and agility. This photograph, titled "Malawi, Blantyre (Mandala) - Young female Water Carrier," is a poignant reminder of the daily struggles and triumphs experienced by the people of Blantyre during this period. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Malawian culture, which continues to thrive despite the passage of time and the challenges of modernization. This photograph, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to explore the history and heritage of Malawi and its people, offering a unique perspective on the world's diverse cultures and traditions.
