Keffiyeh Sunglasses Travelling Thawb

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 print by Bill Kennedy takes us back to the bustling streets of South Kensington in June 1976. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as an Arab man gracefully steps out of a taxi on Gloucester Road. Dressed impeccably in traditional attire, he exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The man's outfit is a beautiful blend of cultural heritage and contemporary style. He wears a thawb, a long flowing robe that drapes around his body with grace and poise. Adorned with intricate patterns and delicate embroidery, it showcases the rich craftsmanship associated with Middle Eastern fashion. Completing his ensemble, the man dons sunglasses that shield his eyes from the bright summer sun. Their sleek design adds a touch of modernity to his classic attire, creating an intriguing contrast between tradition and innovation. One cannot help but notice the keffiyeh draped loosely around his neck—a symbol synonymous with Arab culture—adding another layer of authenticity to this scene. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to an era where travel was filled with adventure and discovery. It serves as a reminder of how diverse cultures intertwine within cosmopolitan cities like London—where individuals from all walks of life come together to create vibrant tapestries woven by their unique stories. Bill Kennedy's lens has captured not just an Arab man stepping out onto Gloucester Road but also encapsulated the essence of multiculturalism that defines our world today.
