31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
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 photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases a group of Kuhmar potters at work in Lahore, Hindu, Pakistan. Belonging to the Hindoo community, the Kuhmars were an indigenous tribe known for their exceptional pottery skills. Their intricate and beautiful creations were highly sought after during the Victorian era, both for functional and decorative purposes. The image portrays the artisans in their element, surrounded by their tools and raw materials. The potter in the foreground is intently shaping a piece on his wheel, while his assistant carefully tends to the kiln in the background. The scene is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship that thrived in the region during this era. The photograph is part of "The People of India: A Series of Photographic Illustrations," a collection published under the order of Lord Canning, the Viceroy of India, during the late 1860s. The series aimed to document the diverse races and tribes of Hindustan, providing a valuable record of the ethnic groups and their way of life during this grand historical period. As tourists and travelers from around the world flocked to India to explore its wonders, this photograph would have offered a glimpse into the daily lives of the native people, showcasing the unique beauty and diversity of the Indian subcontinent. Today, it serves as an invaluable reminder of the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Kuhmar potters and their craft.
