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
In this evocative photograph, a group of men from the Luwo tribe, also known as the Jur Chol or Luo of Bahr el Ghazal, are seen working together to construct a large grain bin in the Bahr-el-Ghazal region of South Sudan, Africa. The Luwo are a Nilotic ethnic group who inhabit the western parts of this vast and largely unspoiled territory. The region, referred to as the "Sea of Gazelles" due to the abundant wildlife that once roamed its plains, is characterized by its arid climate and vast expanses of savannah. The men in the photograph are intently focused on their task, their expressions reflecting a deep sense of purpose and determination. They work in unison, using their hands and simple tools to shape the adobe bricks that will form the walls of the grain bin. The structure, once completed, will serve as an essential storage facility for the tribe's precious grain crops, protecting them from the elements and ensuring their survival during the lean seasons. The scene is set against a backdrop of traditional Luwo huts, their mudbrick walls and thatched straw roofs providing shelter for the community. The simple yet effective design of the huts is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Luwo people, who have adapted to the challenging conditions of their environment. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Luwo people during a time when their way of life was still largely untouched by the outside world. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and resilience of Africa's indigenous populations, and the importance of preserving their traditions for future generations.
