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 photograph captures the essence of tradition and simplicity in Gondar, Ethiopia. The image showcases a row of papyrus boats propped up beside the serene Lake Tana, basking in the warm African sunshine. The reed exterior of these handcrafted vessels adds to their charm and heritage. The scene is set against a stunning backdrop of the clear blue ocean, with the boats leaning gently on the shore. Their plain yet vibrant colors stand out against the contemporary landscape, creating a striking contrast between old and new. Transportation plays a significant role in this coastal region, as evidenced by these traditional papyrus boats used for travel on Lake Tana. They represent an age-old method of navigating these waters and are still relied upon today. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that morning by the lake's edge. The photographer has skillfully captured every detail - from the horizontal composition to the rich color palette - making it impossible not to be drawn into this mesmerizing travel destination. J P De Manne/Robert Harding's photography beautifully encapsulates Ethiopia's cultural richness while showcasing its natural beauty through this simple yet evocative image.
