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 photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the bustling activity at the river port of Antananarivo, Madagascar, now known as Tananarive. The Ikopa River, a vital waterway for the Malagasy people, is teeming with traditional pirogues or canoes, skillfully navigated by local boatsmen. The pirogues are laden with various crops, including rice, beans, and vegetables, which are transported from the surrounding countryside to the city. The image offers a glimpse into the past, when the river served as the primary means of transportation for goods and people in Madagascar. The pirogues, with their distinctive curved hulls, glide effortlessly on the water, their sails billowing in the wind. The boatsmen, dressed in traditional attire, expertly maneuver their vessels, demonstrating their deep connection to the river and their mastery of its currents. The scene at the port is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Malagasy people, who have relied on the Ikopa River for transportation for generations. The photograph captures a moment in time when the river was the lifeline of the community, connecting the rural areas to the city and facilitating trade and commerce. This evocative image, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a reminder of the importance of waterways in shaping the lives of communities around the world. The pirogues, the boatsmen, and the Ikopa River continue to be an integral part of the fabric of Madagascar's heritage, and this photograph serves as a visual testament to that enduring connection.
