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 the N Tomo Institute of Bogolan, located in Segou, Mali, Africa. The image showcases a group of talented men engrossed in their craft, diligently working on creating intricate drawings and crafts. Their focused expressions reflect their dedication to preserving the rich cultural heritage of Mali. The vibrant colors and horizontal composition add depth to this photograph, transporting viewers into the heart of African creativity. The African ethnicity depicted here further emphasizes the authenticity and uniqueness of this artistic endeavor. Within the walls of this institute, generations have honed their skills in mud cloth production - an ancient Malian textile art form known as bogolan. This traditional technique involves using natural dyes made from fermented mud to create stunning patterns on fabrics. As we explore this intimate portrait captured by J P De Mann/Robert Harding, we are reminded that travel is not only about visiting famous landmarks but also about immersing ourselves in local customs and traditions. The N Tomo Institute serves as a testament to Mali's commitment to preserving its cultural identity through artistry and craftsmanship. Whether you're an avid traveler or simply appreciate beautiful photography, this print offers a glimpse into one corner of Africa where talent flourishes amidst colorful textiles and dedicated artisans.
