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 captures the essence of Moroccan culture and the warm hospitality of its people, as embodied by this smiling man from Tangiers, Morocco. Circa 1909, the image finds him adorned in traditional Berber attire, with a vibrant, embroidered overgarment and a golden ring piercing his right ear. The palm trees and North African landscape in the background add to the sense of exoticism and rich history. The man's turban, a symbol of his heritage, sits atop his head, while his bright, happy smile radiates warmth and contentment. The golden ring in his ear is a common adornment among Moroccan men, reflecting their connection to their ancient traditions. Tangiers, a bustling port city on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco, has long been a melting pot of cultures, attracting travelers and adventurers from around the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants during a time when Morocco was still largely unexplored by the Western world. The intricate patterns and colors of the man's clothing showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of Moroccan textiles, which have been passed down through generations. The desert sands and palm trees in the background serve as a reminder of the diverse landscapes and climates that make up this fascinating country. This photograph is not only a beautiful representation of Moroccan heritage but also a testament to the enduring spirit and happiness of its people. It invites us to explore the history and culture of this enchanting North African nation, and to appreciate the unique beauty of its people and landscapes.
