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 Algerian culture in the early 1910s, as embodied by these two Moorish women in their traditional attire. The women, with their enchanting faces partially concealed by their voluminous garments, exude an air of mystery and allure. The Moorish people, also known as Berbers, have a rich and complex history in Algeria, dating back thousands of years. Their unique cultural traditions have been influenced by various civilizations, including Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and Turks. The women in this photograph are dressed in the full covering garments that were once common in Algerian society. The garments consist of a long, flowing robe or cloak, known as a djellaba, which is worn over a tunic and trousers. A veil, or burqa, covers the head and face, leaving only the eyes visible. The women also wear intricately patterned shawls, or hmam, which are draped over their heads and shoulders, adding an extra layer of color and texture to their outfits. Despite the full covering, the women's expressions and body language convey a sense of grace and dignity. Their hands are adorned with intricate henna designs, adding to their beauty and allure. The photograph provides a glimpse into a bygone era, offering a window into the rich cultural traditions of Algeria and its Moorish people.
