17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 portrait captures the intense gaze and unyielding spirit of an old man from Houmt Souk, a vibrant and historic town located on the island of Djerba in Tunisia, North Africa. The year was 1987 when this photograph was taken, and the man is dressed in the traditional attire of the Djerban people - a djelleba, a long, loose-fitting robe with a hood. The hood is pulled low over his head, casting an air of mystery and intrigue. The old man's fierce gaze directly into the camera challenges the viewer, inviting us to delve deeper into his story. His weathered face tells tales of a life well-lived, filled with experiences and hardships that have shaped him into the person he is today. The creases around his eyes and the lines on his forehead speak of laughter and wisdom, while the wrinkles on his hands suggest a lifetime of labor. Houmt Souk is known for its bustling markets, colorful streets, and rich cultural heritage. This portrait offers a glimpse into the daily life of its people, showcasing the resilience and pride that defines the Djerban community. The photograph is a testament to the power of portraiture, allowing us to connect with a stranger from a different time and place, and to appreciate the shared human experiences that transcend borders and generations. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of African or Middle Eastern art, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and culture of Tunisia and the Maghreb region. The photograph's timeless quality and the old man's unforgettable presence make it a captivating and thought-provoking piece, sure to inspire wonder and curiosity for years to come.
