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 19th-century vintage photograph captures the regal beauty of a Bheel woman adorned in her finest gala costume. The Bheel people, also known as Bhil or Bhilala, are an ethnic group indigenous to the central Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. This image, taken most likely between the 1860s and 1890s, offers a rare glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this community during that era. The woman's attire is a stunning display of intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors. She wears a long, flowing skirt made of bright, patterned fabric, adorned with intricate beadwork and mirror work. A matching blouse, or choli, covers her upper body, and a shawl draped over her shoulders adds an extra layer of warmth and elegance. Her hair is styled in elaborate braids, adorned with flowers and beads, and her jewelry includes intricate necklaces, bangles, and earrings. The photograph was likely taken during a grand tour of India by European travelers or colonial officials, who were fascinated by the diverse cultures and peoples of the subcontinent. The image was captured using the albumen or collodion process, a popular photographic technique of the time. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an important historical document, providing a window into the past and offering insights into the lives and traditions of the Bheel people during the 19th century.
