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 showcases a lush cocoa plantation in the beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad, West Indies, during the 1930s. The image beautifully captures the essence of the cocoa bean's natural growth cycle, with mature cocoa pods hanging from the trees, ready to be harvested. Cocoa cultivation has been an integral part of Trinidad's history and economy since the late 18th century. The tropical climate and fertile soil of the island make it an ideal location for the growth of cocoa trees. The cocoa beans, which are the source of chocolate, are encased in these large, oblong pods. The cocoa trees in this photograph appear to be flourishing, with their glossy green leaves providing ample shade to the pods. The pods themselves are a rich, vibrant orange-red color, contrasting against the lush green foliage. The intricate patterns on the pods are a testament to the intricacy of nature. The 1930s were a significant period in the history of the cocoa industry in Trinidad. Despite facing challenges such as diseases and pests, the industry continued to thrive, with Trinidad being one of the leading producers of cocoa in the world. This photograph is a reminder of the rich heritage and natural beauty of cocoa cultivation in the Caribbean, and the important role that Trinidad played in the global chocolate industry during this era.
