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 showcases the intricate clay-based images of Durga, the ten-armed warrior goddess, created for the vibrant and grand Durga Puja festival in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. The skilled craftsmanship and devotion of the artisans are evident in these stunning effigies that symbolize power and protection. The image captures a moment of intense focus as men meticulously work on sculpting these divine figures. Each stroke of their hands brings life to the clay, shaping every detail with precision and reverence. The vibrant colors used to adorn the sculptures add an enchanting touch to this artistic masterpiece. Durga Puja is one of India's most significant Hindu festivals celebrated with great fervor throughout the country. It honors Goddess Durga's triumph over evil forces and marks her visit to Earth along with her four children. Devotees gather in large numbers at beautifully decorated pandals (temporary structures) where these magnificent clay idols are worshipped for several days before being immersed in water bodies. Varanasi, also known as Benares, holds a special place during this festive season as it becomes adorned with countless such effigies like those captured in this photograph. This cultural extravaganza attracts people from all walks of life who come together to witness this religious spectacle filled with music, dance, rituals, and joyous celebrations. John Henry Claude Wilson/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not just a visual representation but also the essence of faith and tradition through his lens.
