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 image captures the essence of traditional shoeshining in India, a practice deeply rooted in the country's rich history and culture. The shoeshiner, dressed in a colorful turban and seated at his humble pavement stall, meticulously buffs up a pair of smart black shoes with an old brush and tube of polish. His intense focus and dedication to his craft are evident in the determined set of his jaw and the unwavering gaze he directs at his client's footwear. The shoes, which once bore the scuffs and marks of daily wear, are now transformed into gleaming, pristine accessories, a testament to the shoeshiner's skill and artistry. The scene transports us back in time, to a simpler era when such personal services were a common sight on the bustling streets of India. The use of natural light and the worn textures of the pavement and bric-a-brac surrounding the stall add to the authenticity and charm of the image. This photograph is not only a beautiful depiction of a daily occurrence but also a reminder of the enduring traditions that continue to shape the fabric of Indian society.
