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 captures a significant moment in history - the Battle of Omdurman, which took place on Friday, September 2,1898. The photograph is an engraving by an unknown artist from the 19th century and is currently housed in the Jesuit Library in Cairo, Egypt. The image transports us back to that fateful day when British forces clashed with Sudanese warriors. The scene depicts the chaos and intensity of war as soldiers engage in fierce combat. Dust clouds rise from beneath galloping horses while men brandish their weapons with determination. The Battle of Omdurman was a pivotal event during Britain's campaign to suppress rebellion in Sudan under the leadership of General Horatio Herbert Kitchener. This historic clash marked a turning point for British colonialism in Africa. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this poignant moment through his lens, preserving it for future generations to witness. His photography allows us to glimpse into this chapter of African and British history, showcasing both sides' bravery and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the profound impact that wars have on nations and individuals alike. It serves as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and stands as a tribute to those who fought valiantly on that fateful day over a century ago.
