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 vintage photograph, dating back to the late 19th century, features a veiled woman from North Africa, possibly hailing from Algeria or Tunisia. The image, preserved in the extensive archive of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an era of early European imperial expansion and cultural exchange. The woman's enigmatic expression and the intricate veil that covers her face add an air of mystery and allure. The veil, a traditional part of North African women's attire, symbolizes modesty, respect, and femininity in the region's rich cultural heritage. The woman's attire, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflects the diverse and vibrant textile traditions of the region. The photograph's backdrop reveals a grand, old building with arched windows and intricate architectural details, possibly a palatial residence or a public building. The cityscape in the distance, with its narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and domed buildings, evokes the bustling energy and vibrant life of a North African city during the late 19th century. Mountains in the background add a sense of depth and scale to the image, emphasizing the vast and diverse landscape of North Africa. The woman's profession or social status remains a mystery, but her regal posture and the grandeur of her surroundings suggest that she was a woman of means and importance in her community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of North Africa during the late 19th century, a time of cultural exchange, imperial expansion, and the blending of European and local traditions. The image invites us to explore the stories and experiences of the people who lived during this fascinating era and to appreciate the beauty and diversity of North African culture.
