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.

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 Malay States of South East Asia during the 1920s, showcases the traditional process of collecting the sweet and fermented sap, or 'toddy,' from a toddy palm tree. The Malay man, dressed in simple clothing typical of the region, skillfully climbs the tree using a rope, while his companion holds a container below to catch the flowing sap. The toddy palm tree, abundant in the tropical climate of South East Asia, has been a source of livelihood and social gathering for the local communities for centuries. The British Empire, which then ruled over Malaya, did not interfere much with the traditional practices of the local Malay population, allowing the production and consumption of toddy to continue. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of the Malay people during the 1920s, showcasing their strong connection to the land and their unique cultural practices. The process of tapping the toddy palm tree involves making a small incision at the top of the tree, allowing the sap to flow into a container. The sap is then fermented and left to age, resulting in a sweet and potent drink that is a staple in the Malay community. This photograph not only captures the essence of the Malay people and their way of life but also highlights the rich cultural diversity that exists within the region. Today, the tradition of tapping toddy palm trees continues in countries like Malaysia, where it is an integral part of the local culture and economy. The image serves as a reminder of the past and the importance of preserving cultural practices and traditions for future generations.
