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 by Bruno Barbier/Robert Harding transports us to the enchanting island of Dek, located on Lake Tana in the Gondar region of Ethiopia. The image showcases a small group of Ethiopian men sitting outside the magnificent Narga Selassie church, engaged in their daily work. As we gaze at this vertical composition, we are immediately drawn to the intricate thatching process taking place before our eyes. With reeds in hand and intense focus on their task, these skilled thatchers diligently weave together each strand to create a sturdy roof for the church. The vibrant African landscape serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this scene. Surrounded by lush greenery and with Lake Tana shimmering nearby, it is evident why this destination is sought after by travelers from around the world. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the laborious efforts of these hardworking individuals but also gain insight into their rich cultural heritage. Their presence reminds us of the resilience and resourcefulness found within communities across Africa. Bruno Barbier/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures both the beauty of nature and human determination. This print invites us to reflect upon our own connection with travel and exploration while appreciating those who dedicate themselves to preserving architectural wonders like Narga Selassie church.
