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.

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 captures the serene yet alarming scene of fishermen rowing their boat through the algae-filled Chaohu Lake in Hefei, Anhui province. The image serves as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges faced by China and its ongoing efforts to combat pollution. In June 2009, it was reported that China had invested a staggering 51 billion yuan ($7.4 billion) towards the construction of over 2,700 projects aimed at treating eight major rivers and lakes across the country. These bodies of water included Huaihe River, Haihe River, Liaohe River, Chaohu Lake, Dianchi Lake, Songhua River, Three Gorges region of Yangtze River and its upstream area. The scale of this investment highlights the gravity of the pollution problem in China's waters. Algae blooms like those seen in Chaohu Lake are often caused by excessive nutrient runoff from agriculture and industry. This not only poses a threat to aquatic life but also affects local communities who rely on these water sources for fishing or recreational activities. While this photograph showcases an unfortunate reality for many Chinese fishermen navigating polluted waters, it also symbolizes hope for change. It reminds us that significant steps have been taken to address these issues and restore these vital ecosystems back to health. Through continued dedication and investment in environmental protection initiatives like those captured here on Chaohu Lake, there is optimism that future generations will be able to enjoy cleaner waters and thriving aquatic habitats once again.
