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.

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 engraving titled "Native Officers and Soldiers in the East India Company's Service" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of colonial India during the 19th century. Created by William Carpenter, it was originally published in The Illustrated London News on April 24,1858. The print showcases a diverse group of native officers and soldiers proudly serving under the East India Company. Clad in their traditional attire, they stand alongside their horses, exuding an air of strength and loyalty. Among them is an esteemed Affghan chief, his presence commanding respect from all those around him. The composition highlights not only the military prowess but also the deep-rooted traditions that these men embody. Each officer represents a unique branch within the company's service, such as guide corps or Skinners Horse. Their roles were crucial in maintaining order and protecting British interests throughout this vast territory. Through this engraving, Carpenter captures both the exotic allure and disciplined professionalism that characterized this era of imperial expansion. It serves as a testament to the complex relationship between colonizer and colonized – one built upon mutual reliance yet marked by inherent power dynamics. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, we are reminded of how art can transport us back in time to witness significant moments in our shared history.
