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
This photograph captures a group of Ibo women from Nigeria engaging in their traditional dance during the 1950s. The women are dressed in vibrant and intricately designed costumes, adorned with beads, bells, and the distinctive Igbo ankle rattles. The dancers' faces are expressive and full of energy, showcasing their enthusiasm and connection to the rhythm of the music. The Ibo people, also known as the Igbo, are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, and their culture is rich in art, music, and dance. Traditional dances like this one have been passed down through generations and are an essential part of Ibo heritage and social life. The ankle rattles, or "agbogho ulo," are an essential component of Ibo dance, and their sound adds to the infectious energy and excitement of the performance. The rattles are made from calabash gourds filled with seeds or pebbles, which are attached to the ankles with straps. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the vibrant and rich cultural traditions of the Ibo people in Nigeria during the 1950s. The women's joyful expressions and the intricate details of their costumes serve as a reminder of the enduring power of dance and music to bring people together and celebrate their heritage.
