23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 captures a moment of discovery during Sir Henry Morton Stanley's Emin Pasha Relief Expedition in Africa in 1888. The scouts, sent out to navigate the dense forest, stumble upon a group of Pygmies stealthily carrying away a case of precious ammunition. The scene is filled with tension as the explorers realize they have caught the natives red-handed.
The image offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics of colonialism and exploration in Africa during the late 19th century. It highlights the power struggles and conflicts that arose when European expeditions encountered indigenous peoples on their quest for conquest and control.
The Pygmies, depicted in stark black and white contrast, appear both curious and defiant as they are caught in the act of stealing from the expedition. Their presence adds an element of mystery and intrigue to this historical moment captured by an unknown English School artist.
As we reflect on this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded of the lasting impact that such encounters had on both European explorers and African natives. This print serves as a visual reminder of the complexities inherent in our shared history of imperialism, exploitation, and cultural exchange.
