31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
Locals immerse themselves in the timeless tradition of bathing in the Buriganga River, Dacca, Bangladesh. Terry Fincher's captivating print captures a moment frozen in time - February 1961. As the sun casts its warm glow upon the water, men and women gracefully wade into the river, seeking solace and respite from their daily lives. In this bustling scene from 1960s Asia, boats dotting the river serve as makeshift changing rooms for families who have come to cleanse both body and soul. Children splash joyfully amidst laughter and playful banter while adults engage in animated conversations on these floating sanctuaries. This image not only showcases a communal act of personal hygiene but also sheds light on how rivers like Buriganga served as vital transportation arteries for locals during that era. The river was not merely a source of sustenance; it was an integral part of their everyday life. However, beneath this picturesque surface lies a deeper narrative about sanitation challenges faced by communities along its banks. Despite limited resources or infrastructure at their disposal, these resilient individuals find ways to adapt and thrive amidst adversity. Terry Fincher's evocative photograph transports us back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme – where people found beauty even amid modest circumstances. It serves as a poignant reminder that despite societal progress over decades, some traditions remain deeply rooted within our collective memories.
