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
In the Heart of the Oasis: A Moment of Respite in Ghardaia, Algeria (circa 1910s) This evocative photograph captures a moment of tranquility in the heart of the oasis of Ghardaia, Algeria. The image features two men, dressed in traditional North African attire, sitting casually on the side of a narrow, palm-lined lane. The men appear to be taking a break from their daily labors, their relaxed postures and engaged conversation suggesting a sense of camaraderie and contentment. The backdrop to this scene is the breathtaking beauty of the oasis, with its lush palms and verdant vegetation providing a stark contrast to the arid landscape that surrounds it. The lane, flanked by tall, swaying palm trees, leads the eye deeper into the oasis, inviting the viewer to explore further. Ghardaia, located in the M'zab Valley in central Algeria, is renowned for its unique architecture and the distinctive, fortified settlements of its Berber inhabitants. The oasis, a vital source of water and sustenance in the harsh desert climate, has long been an important center of trade and cultural exchange. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back in time to the early 1900s, when the world was a much smaller place and the simple pleasures of life were cherished. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring beauty of the natural world and the resilience of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of environments.
