Second Boer War Trekking Commando
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
In this black and white lithograph titled "Trekking Home, the Last of the Commando" artist Marcella M. Walker takes us back to a significant moment in history during the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of weary soldiers making their way home after serving in the Second Boer War. The composition beautifully captures the essence of their long and arduous journey, as they traverse through rugged terrain on horseback. The horses appear tired yet resilient, mirroring the determination etched on each soldier's face. Their uniforms bear witness to their military background, while also symbolizing unity and camaraderie. Walker's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to this poignant scene from an era gone by. The engraving technique adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing its historical significance. This powerful illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on July 7th, 1900.
