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 Chinguetti, a medieval trading center in northern Mauritania. The sandy square at this UNESCO World Heritage Site is beautifully depicted, showcasing the rural scene and its rich architectural heritage. The image transports you to this remote African location, where time seems to stand still. In the foreground, we see four men standing beneath a majestic tree, adding a human element to the otherwise deserted square. Their presence emphasizes the significance of this historical site as a meeting point for traders from across Africa and beyond. The warm colors of the sand and buildings create an inviting atmosphere that beckons travelers to explore further. The horizontal composition allows us to take in every detail - from the intricate architecture of the surrounding buildings to the vastness of the desert landscape stretching into infinity. Photographers Michael Runkel and Robert Harding have masterfully captured not only a visually stunning scene but also evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about this hidden gem in Mauritania. This photograph serves as both an invitation for adventure seekers yearning for unique travel destinations and as a reminder of our world's diverse cultural heritage preserved by UNESCO.
