23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
1. Title: A Slice of Colonial Life: Bairro do Macuti, Beira, Mozambique (circa 1950s) 2. Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the idyllic charm of Bairro do Macuti, a picturesque neighborhood nestled along the coast of Beira, Mozambique. Established in the late 19th century by the Portuguese Mozambique Company and later developed by the Portuguese colonial government, this seaside community was a popular destination for European settlers seeking a tranquil retreat from the bustling city of Beira. The image reveals a serene scene of palm-fringed beaches, where children play in the shallow waters and locals go about their daily routines. The Portuguese influence is evident in the architectural details of the buildings, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls. The vibrant greenery of the surrounding vegetation adds a lush, tropical contrast to the scene. Bairro do Macuti served as a sanctuary for the European community during the turbulent years leading up to Mozambique's independence from Portugal in 1975. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the Portuguese colonial presence shaped the landscape and the lives of its inhabitants. 3.
