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
In this evocative photograph taken in 1977, a group of Omani elders are seen strolling along the picturesque beach of Salalah, the second largest city in the Sultanate of Oman, located in the eastern Arabian Peninsula. The image captures a moment in time from the 1970s, a decade marked by significant changes in the Middle Eastern country. The elders, dressed in traditional Omani attire, carry the iconic Khanjar daggers, a symbol of Omani heritage and culture. The Khanjar, with its distinctive curved blade and intricately designed handle, has been an integral part of Omani life for centuries. It was not only used as a weapon but also as a status symbol and a tool for daily life. The elders also carry rifles, a reflection of the region's historical reliance on hunting and the traditional way of life. The rifles, along with the Khanjar, emphasize the elders' strength, wisdom, and resilience. The beach setting adds to the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the photograph. The clear blue waters, the golden sand, and the lush greenery in the background create a stunning backdrop for this scene. The elders' leisurely pace and relaxed demeanor suggest a sense of contentment and connection to their land and traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich cultural heritage of Oman and the lives of its people during a time of transition. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving traditions while embracing change.
