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 photograph captures the vibrant street life in Dakar, the capital city of Senegal during the early 1900s, when it was still a part of French West Africa. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily routines and interactions of the Senegalese people. The narrow, dusty street is lined with simple mud-brick houses, their flat roofs dotted with pots and satellite dishes. Women in colorful boubou wraps and men in traditional Senegalese dress go about their business, engaging in conversation or haggling over goods. Children, dressed in tattered clothes, play and laugh in the streets, while a young boy carries a heavy load on his head. A woman, her face etched with the lines of age and experience, sells fresh produce from a basket on the ground. Men sit on low stools, sipping tea and smoking pipes, their eyes following the comings and goings of the bustling street. The scene is one of activity and energy, with the sounds of voices, laughter, and the clatter of pots and pans filling the air. The streets of Dakar, then known as the "Paris of Africa," were a melting pot of cultures, with influences from France, Portugal, and the various African ethnic groups. Despite the challenges and hardships of life in the 1900s, the people of Dakar managed to maintain their rich cultural traditions and resilient spirit. This photograph is a testament to their strength and the vibrancy of life in this historic African city.
