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 in the 1910s, showcases the traditional attire of the Sami People in Sweden, an indigenous group native to Scandinavia, specifically in the Arctic Lapland region. The Sami People, also known as Lapps or Laplanders, have a rich cultural heritage that is deeply rooted in their connection to nature and the harsh winter climate. The image features several Sami individuals, each dressed in their distinctive outfits, which were designed to provide warmth and protection against the cold. The women wear long, full skirts made of reindeer hides, adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery. Their dresses are topped with colorful, knitted vests and matching hats, often featuring elaborate designs and fringes. The men, on the other hand, wear loose-fitting trousers and shirts made of wool, along with heavy coats and fur-trimmed hats. The Sami People are renowned for their expertise in reindeer herding, which is evident in the presence of the animals in the background of the photograph. The Sami men can be seen carrying traditional wooden skis, a crucial mode of transportation in the snowy terrain. The overall scene exudes a sense of community, with the people gathered around a fire, likely sharing stories and enjoying each other's company. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Sami People, who have thrived in the challenging Arctic climate for centuries. It offers a glimpse into their unique culture and traditions, which continue to be celebrated and preserved to this day.
