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 takes us back in time to a native village on Humboldt Bay, Papua, New Guinea, during the 1800s. The hand-colored woodcut beautifully captures the essence of this historic era. In this image, we see a picturesque scene of traditional life unfolding. The village is nestled along the water's edge, showcasing its close connection to the Pacific Ocean. Stilted huts with thatched roofs dot the landscape, providing shelter for families who call this place home. Men and women engage in various activities; some are fishing from outrigger canoes while others are tending to their homes or engaging in archery practice. Children play amidst this vibrant community as they learn about their heritage and embrace their cultural traditions. The presence of a warrior armed with a bow and arrow reminds us of the strength and resilience found within these indigenous communities. This photograph offers a glimpse into an era when Papua New Guinea was under British colonial rule but still retained its unique identity as part of the Malay Archipelago. It serves as a testament to both the rich history and natural beauty that define this region. As we admire this vintage artwork, let it transport us back in time and remind us of our shared human experience across different cultures and generations.
