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 photograph captures the daily life scene of a woman named Amma, from the bustling city of Agra in India, during the 1980s. The iconic Taj Mahal, a symbol of love and architectural marvel, stands majestically in the background as Amma goes about her chores, beating her laundry on the banks of the River Jumna. The serene and picturesque setting of the Taj Mahal is a stark contrast to the simple, yet essential, task Amma is performing. The year was 1987, and the world was moving forward with technological advancements and modernization. However, in the heart of Agra, life continued much as it had for generations. Women like Amma would wake up early in the morning, carry their laundry to the riverbank, and spend hours washing and drying their clothes using traditional methods. The river provided the perfect natural source for cleaning, and the sticks they used to beat the clothes against the rocks helped to remove the dirt and stains. Amma's young child, who seems curious and playful, watches her mother from a distance. The innocence and joy of childhood are evident in the child's expression, adding another layer of depth to this poignant image. The photograph not only showcases the daily life of people in Agra but also highlights the timeless beauty of the Taj Mahal, which continues to captivate visitors from all corners of the world. This image is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and daily routines that define the human experience, even in the presence of grandeur and history. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit and the enduring power of tradition.
