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 striking lithograph captures the bodyguard of the Sheikh of Bornu in Chad, Nigeria, as depicted in Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's "Galerie complete en tableaux fideles des peuples d'Afrique." The mounted bodyguard is clad in chain-mail armor and a turban, exuding strength and authority as he carries a spear. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the people of Africa during the early 19th century.
The hand-colored lithograph showcases intricate details and vibrant colors, bringing to life the essence of this historical figure who served as protector to the esteemed Sheikh. The Meissen edition from 1835-1840 adds to the authenticity and charm of this piece, making it a valuable addition to any collection or study of African art and history.
Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - a testament to the craftsmanship and skill of both Goedsche as an artist and those who meticulously hand-colored each print. It serves as a reminder of the diverse cultures that have shaped Africa's identity over centuries, leaving behind legacies that continue to inspire us today.
