Double Feb16 Gateway Moroccan Morocco Soko Souk Tangiers
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 transports us back in time to the bustling Grand Market of Tangiers, Morocco, in the 1910s. The image showcases the double town gate, a historic entrance that once welcomed traders and travelers from all corners of the world. The gate, adorned with intricate carvings and patterns, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this North African city. Beyond the gates lies the labyrinthine maze of the Grand Market, also known as the Soko or Souk, teeming with vibrant colors, textures, and sounds. The marketplace was a melting pot of various communities, including Moroccan Arabs, Berbers, Jews, and Europeans, who came together to exchange goods and ideas. The market offered an array of merchandise, from textiles and spices to leather goods and metalwork. The air was filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread, roasting meats, and exotic spices. The cacophony of voices, the clanging of metal, and the bustle of activity created an intoxicating atmosphere that left a lasting impression on visitors. This photograph is a visual feast for the senses, offering a glimpse into the past and the vibrant history of Tangiers as a major trading hub in North Africa. The image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural exchanges that have shaped the region and continue to influence it today.
