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 captures the essence of life along the River Gambia in West Africa. In this picturesque scene, a traditional wooden canoe with a sail gracefully glides through the calm waters, showcasing both the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its Gambian occupants. The vibrant colors of the sail against the serene backdrop of blue skies and lush greenery create a striking contrast that immediately draws you into this snapshot of daily life. The men on board skillfully navigate their way through the river, using this ancient mode of transportation to carry people and goods from one place to another. As you gaze at this image, you can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling your hair and hear the soft lapping sound as water kisses against wood. It is a reminder that despite modern advancements, there are still places where simplicity reigns supreme. This photograph transports you to an idyllic rural location in Western Africa, offering a glimpse into an authentic African travel destination. It encapsulates not only the physical beauty but also showcases how integral rivers are for communities living alongside them. Whether it's for work or leisurely travel, these canoes play an essential role in connecting people across vast distances within The Gambia. They serve as lifelines for remote villages and symbolize resilience amidst challenging circumstances. J Lightfoot/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this timeless moment, inviting us to appreciate both nature's wonders and human adaptability in one frame.
