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, the bustling energy of Goderich Beach in Sierra Leone unfolds before us. Dating back to the 1980s, this image captures a moment in time when the fishing village was still a thriving hub of activity. The pristine sandy beach, dotted with palm trees, is filled with a diverse crowd of people, all eagerly awaiting the return of the fishing boats from the deep blue sea. Fishermen from the nearby Fante community, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen among the crowd, their faces etched with the hard work and determination that comes with a life spent at sea. Infants play in the shallow waters, their laughter mingling with the sound of the crashing waves and the chatter of the adults. The palm trees that line the coast provide a picturesque backdrop to the scene, their shadows stretching long and wide across the sand. The simple beauty of this moment in time stands in stark contrast to the modern tourist resort that Goderich Beach has become today. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and daily life of the people of Sierra Leone during the 1980s. It serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of the natural world, the community, and the rhythm of life that once defined this vibrant West African fishing village.
