FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 the daily life of an Arab woman from a rural village near Cairo, Egypt, during the 1920s. The woman is shown expertly churning butter using a traditional goatskin churn, suspended from the broken stem of a date palm. The date palm, a symbol of the arid Middle Eastern landscape, adds a sense of place and context to the image. The woman's traditional attire, including a flowing headscarf and long, flowing robe, is typical of the region. She wears intricate jewelry, including bangles on her arms and ankles, and a necklace adorned with precious stones. A child, perched on her shoulder, observes the process with curiosity. The simple yet effective technology of the goatskin butter churn has been used for centuries in the Middle East and North Africa as a means of producing butter from the abundant supply of goat's milk. The process involves suspending the churn from a tall, sturdy object, such as a date palm stem, and then manually churning the milk until the butter separates from the buttermilk. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Arab people during a time when traditional ways of life were still prevalent. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and resilience of communities in the Middle East and North Africa, and the importance of preserving their customs and traditions for future generations.
