17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 powerful symbolism of "The Equestrian Statue in Windhoek". Standing tall and proud, the statue serves as a poignant reminder of a tumultuous chapter in Namibia's history. The monument pays tribute to the fallen German soldiers who lost their lives during the wars waged against the Nama and Herero people between 1903 and 1907. In this frame, we see not only the equestrian statue but also glimpse into the past through the old fort that stands behind it. This fort was constructed by Germany's first Schutztruppe, or colonial troops, serving as a testament to their presence in this African land. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported to Windhoek, Namibia's capital city. Here lies an amalgamation of cultures and histories intertwined with remnants of German colonialism. The horseman atop his steed symbolizes power and authority while simultaneously representing colonization itself. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph invites us to reflect on themes such as war memorialization and sub-Saharan Africa's complex relationship with European imperialism. It beckons travelers seeking unique destinations to explore Namibia's rich heritage at sites like the National Museum of Namibia. Through Nigel Pavitt's lens, Discover Images by AWL allows us to appreciate both the beauty captured within this moment frozen in time and encourages contemplation about our shared human history.
