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 print captured by Philippe Lissac, we are transported to the vibrant and spiritual atmosphere of the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar, India. The image showcases a Hindu swami immersed in deep meditation within an akhara, or a traditional wrestling ground. The swami's serene countenance reflects his unwavering faith and dedication to his spiritual practice. Dressed in saffron robes, he exudes an aura of tranquility amidst the bustling energy surrounding him. With closed eyes and folded hands, he engages in prayer beads as a means to connect with the divine. The Kumbh Mela is one of the largest religious gatherings on Earth, drawing millions of pilgrims from all corners of India and beyond. It is believed that taking part in this sacred event cleanses one's sins and bestows blessings for both this life and the afterlife. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the profound spirituality that permeates Indian culture. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like this Hindu swami dedicate their lives to seeking enlightenment through devotion and self-discipline. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of our own spiritual journeys and encouraged to reflect on our own beliefs and practices. The photograph invites us to appreciate the beauty found within diverse religious traditions while fostering respect for those who choose different paths towards inner peace.
