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 evocative image captures the vibrant energy and resilience of a woman fruit seller at Goderich Beach in Sierra Leone, West Africa, during the 1980s. Dressed in a colorful wrap skirt and blouse, she expertly balances an enamel bowl filled with an array of ripe and succulent fruits on her head, skillfully using a cloth to secure it in place. The sun casts a warm glow on her radiant face, which is framed by intricately braided hair. The sandy beach and clear blue water provide a picturesque backdrop to her bustling trade. Despite the challenges of living in a developing country, this woman's smile and the joy in her eyes reveal her happiness and contentment in her work. Fruit selling is a common occupation for women in Sierra Leone, providing them with a source of income and a means to support their families. The basin and bowl, essential tools for her trade, are simple yet effective, reflecting the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people of this region. This photograph, taken circa 1982, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a woman in Sierra Leone during a time of change and transformation. It is a poignant reminder of the strength and determination of the human spirit, and the beauty and richness of the diverse cultures that make up our world.
