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
In this powerful image captured by Khaled Abdullah Ali Al Mahdi, the shadows of army soldiers holding batons are cast on the ground as they stand in a formidable line. The scene takes place during an anti-government demonstration in Sanaa, Yemen on October 6,2011. These soldiers have been deployed to block the protesters who demand the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The composition is striking as it showcases the silhouettes of these uniformed soldiers against the urban city backdrop. Their unrecognizable figures create an air of mystery and tension while emphasizing their role as enforcers in a volatile political climate. As sunlight filters through, their shadows stretch across the asphalt like elongated extensions of their bodies. This photograph demonstrates creative use of perspective and lighting to convey a sense of urgency and unrest. From above, we witness multiple soldiers standing in formation with their shoes firmly planted on the ground. The copy space surrounding them allows viewers to contemplate both their physical presence and impact on the environment. Khaled Abdullah's photo encapsulates a moment frozen in time—a visual testament to real people caught up in political upheaval where body parts become mere shadows representing larger forces at play. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, individuals continue to fight for change under challenging weather conditions and against all odds.
