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 showcases the legendary Dahomeyan Amazons, captured by an English photographer in the late 19th or early 20th century. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Living Races of Mankind" published by Hutchinson around 1910. The photograph offers a glimpse into history, revealing the strength and resilience of these remarkable women warriors from Dahomey, Africa. Known for their fierce combat skills and unwavering loyalty to their kingdom, the Dahomeyan Amazons were a force to be reckoned with. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the proud faces of these native African women who defied societal norms and embraced roles traditionally reserved for men. Their presence challenges our understanding of gender roles and highlights the rich diversity that exists within different cultures across the world. As we delve into this powerful image, it serves as a reminder that history is not only shaped by prominent figures but also by ordinary individuals who dared to challenge conventions. Through their bravery and determination, these Dahomeyan Amazons left an indelible mark on both local history and global perceptions. This photograph invites us to reflect upon our own preconceived notions about race, ethnicity, and gender while celebrating the unique stories that make up humanity's tapestry. It stands as a testament to how images can transcend time, sparking curiosity about forgotten chapters in our shared past.
