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 gelatin silver print captures a remarkable moment in history - the visit of African Pygmies to the House of Commons in London on June 29th, 1905. The photograph, taken by J. Benjamin Stone, showcases a group of dignified pygmies standing outside the iconic entrance to Parliament. In this extraordinary image, we see the juxtaposition of two worlds colliding. The pygmies, dressed in traditional attire and armed with spears and bows, stand proudly alongside British politicians and visitors. Their presence at such a prestigious institution is both intriguing and symbolic of cultural exchange during the Edwardian era. The composition highlights not only the physical differences between these two groups but also their shared humanity. The archway frames this historic encounter beautifully as it symbolizes an open door for dialogue and understanding between different cultures. As we delve into this photograph's details, we are reminded that images have immense power to transcend time and capture moments that shape our collective memory. It serves as a testament to the importance of documenting historical events for future generations. This gelatin silver print is not just a visual record; it represents an opportunity for reflection on how far society has come in terms of embracing diversity and fostering inclusivity within political institutions like the House of Commons.
