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 a moment in the history of Algerian Affairs during the French colonial administration in Algeria. Taken circa 1920 at Colomb-Bechar, in the Sud-Oranais region, the image shows a group of Algerian men and women sitting patiently outside the Bureau des Affaires Indigenes (Bureau of Indigenous Affairs). The Bureau was a key institution of the French colonial administration, responsible for managing the political and social affairs of the indigenous population. The scene portrays a sense of anticipation and routine, as the individuals wait for their turn to be heard by the French officials inside. Their expressions convey a range of emotions, from hope and determination to frustration and resignation. The women, dressed in traditional Algerian attire, sit separately from the men, reflecting the gender segregation that was common in colonial Algeria. The Bureau des Affaires Indigenes served as a symbol of French control over the indigenous population, and the long queues outside its doors were a daily reminder of the power dynamics at play. The photograph offers a glimpse into the complex and often contentious relationship between the colonizers and the colonized, and the ways in which the French colonial administration sought to manage the political and social affairs of the Algerian population during this period. The image also underscores the significance of the colonial legacy in shaping contemporary Algerian society and politics, and the ongoing debates surrounding issues of identity, sovereignty, and self-determination. Overall, this photograph is a powerful reminder of the historical context and the enduring impact of colonialism on Algerian Affairs.
