Boer War Hole Shell Puff Adder
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 titled "A Choice of Evils, from The Leaguer of Ladysmith, 1900" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Boer War. Created by Captain Clive Dixon, this colour litho artwork showcases his satirical genius and attention to detail. In this scene, we are transported to the besieged town of Ladysmith where soldiers find themselves facing an unexpected dilemma. A puff adder lurks menacingly at the entrance of a hole while a cannon and howlitzer gun point towards it. The juxtaposition between these deadly weapons and the seemingly harmless snake adds an element of irony and dark humor. The artist's choice to depict this particular scenario speaks volumes about the horrors faced by soldiers during wartime. It cleverly symbolizes the difficult choices they must make - whether to confront immediate threats or focus on larger battles raging around them. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to every intricate detail, capturing our attention with its vividness. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and conflict, art has the power to provoke thought and provide commentary on society. Preserved in a private collection today, "A Choice of Evils" continues to be an important historical artifact that sheds light on both Captain Clive Dixon's artistic talent and the tumultuous times he lived in.
