14"x12" (38x32cm) Modern 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
. Step into a time machine with this vintage postcard, capturing an extraordinary moment from the early 1920s. In this snapshot, we witness a daring hunter posing triumphantly beside his colossal prey – a mighty hippopotamus! The African wilderness comes alive as we imagine the thrill of big game hunting in its golden age. The scene unfolds along the majestic Nile River, where ancient civilizations once thrived and wildlife roamed freely. Our intrepid explorer stands tall, showcasing his conquest with pride. This old postcard transports us back to an era when hunters sought out thrilling encounters with nature's most formidable creatures. But let's not forget that times have changed! Today, our appreciation for these magnificent animals has evolved towards conservation and preservation. We celebrate their beauty and importance in maintaining delicate ecosystems. So take a moment to marvel at this fascinating relic from history – it serves as both a reminder of our past fascination with sport hunting and an opportunity to reflect on how far we've come in protecting these incredible creatures.
