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 black-and-white image, a young shoe shine man takes a moment of respite from his work in the cobblestone streets of Lisbon, Portugal. Seated on a worn wooden stool, he leans back with a contented expression, engrossed in the pages of a newspaper. The sun casts long shadows on the cobbles behind him, adding to the sense of tranquility and relaxation. The man's mirror-polished shoes reflect the image of the cobbled street and the passing foot traffic, creating a striking contrast between the stillness of the scene and the hustle and bustle of the busy street. The concentration on his face suggests that he takes pride in his work, even as he takes a brief break to rest his weary feet. The mature cobblestones underfoot, worn smooth by the passage of time and the countless footsteps of those who have passed through this bustling Portuguese city, add to the sense of history and tradition that permeates the scene. The man's simple attire and the unassuming nature of his shoe shine stand are reminiscent of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of a freshly shined pair of shoes were cherished. As the sun begins to set and the shadows grow longer, the shoe shine man continues to wait for his next customer, ready to bring a touch of polish and shine to their footwear. This poignant moment captures the essence of daily life in Lisbon, a city rich in history, tradition, and the simple pleasures of everyday life.
