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 evocative photograph captures the essence of Morocco's rich cultural heritage, specifically in the bustling Derb-Sultan Quartier of Casablanca during the 1920s. The image showcases a group of children gathered around a beautiful fountain, their curious and playful expressions reflecting the joy and wonder of everyday life in this vibrant neighborhood. Derb-Sultan Quartier, also known as the Sultan's Quarter, was a historic district in Casablanca renowned for its traditional Moroccan architecture, narrow streets, and lively markets. The area was a melting pot of various cultures, with Moroccan, European, and Jewish influences coming together to create a unique and diverse community. The fountain in the photograph is a testament to the district's rich history and the importance of water in Moroccan culture. Water fountains, or "fontaines," are a common feature in Moroccan cities and towns, providing both a source of fresh water and a gathering place for the community. The intricate tilework and ornate design of the fountain are characteristic of Moroccan artistry, showcasing the country's deep connection to its artistic and historical roots. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple joys of community and daily life were cherished. The children in the image, with their laughter and playful antics, remind us of the universal language of childhood and the enduring power of human connection.
