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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of daily life in the bustling city of Semarang, North Java, Indonesia during the early 1900s. The scene unfolds at a traditional native bathing pool, a popular gathering place for locals to wash and socialize. The pool, nestled among rocks and surrounded by lush greenery, offers a refreshing respite from the heat and hustle of the city. Adults and children, dressed in traditional ethnic attire, can be seen washing themselves and each other, using simple tools such as bowls and scoops. The water, clear and inviting, reflects the sunlight and the surrounding rocks, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Semarang, then part of the Dutch East Indies, was a thriving port city with a diverse population of Europeans, Chinese, and indigenous people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the native population, who continued to practice their traditional customs and traditions despite the influence of colonial rule. The use of natural elements, such as the rocks and greenery, highlights the harmony between the people and their environment. The photograph also underscores the importance of community and social interaction in the daily lives of the people of Semarang, as they come together to bathe and connect with one another.
