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 vintage photograph, taken in 1989, captures the essence of rural life in Portugal's Norte Region. The image portrays a mature woman in traditional clothing, deeply engrossed in the labor-intensive process of harvesting hay by hand. With a determined expression on her face, she meticulously cuts the lush green grass and loads it onto a simple yet sturdy cow cart. The rolling hills of Viana do Castelo provide the idyllic backdrop for this scene, where the pastoral beauty of the landscape is juxtaposed with the raw, manual labor required to sustain it. The woman's connection to the land is palpable, as she works in harmony with the beast of burden – a strong and patient bullock – that will carry the precious fodder to its final destination. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when farming was a more intimate and laborious process, where the relationship between man, animal, and nature was deeply interconnected. The image invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life and the resilience of those who have dedicated their lives to working the land. This evocative piece of vintage photography is not only a visual treasure but also a testament to the enduring spirit of rural communities in Portugal and beyond.
