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 Kismayo, Somalia, East Africa around 1922, three local residents go about their daily lives, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of this region. The first figure on the left is a Somali man, dressed in traditional clothing consisting of a long white robe, known as a tobe, and a red fez cap. His expression is serious, yet his piercing gaze conveys a sense of pride and resilience. To his right, a Somali woman is seen carrying a large water jug on her head, a common sight in rural African communities where water sources are often distant. She wears a brightly colored dress adorned with intricate patterns, reflecting the vibrant textiles that are an essential part of Somali culture. Her expression is calm and focused, as she expertly balances the heavy load on her head. The third figure is a young Somali boy, who looks up at the camera with curiosity and a hint of mischief in his eyes. He is dressed in simple clothing, and his bare feet are covered in the dusty ground. The boy's playful expression and carefree demeanor offer a glimpse into the joy and innocence of childhood, despite the challenges and hardships that many African communities faced during this era. This photograph, from The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a poignant snapshot of life in Kismayo, Somalia, during the 1920s. It offers a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people, showcasing their strength, resilience, and the rich cultural traditions that continue to thrive in East Africa today.
