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 titled "A Senegalese Marabout" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the rich cultural heritage of West Africa. The image, captured by Jacques Francois Gauderique Llanta in 1853, showcases a mandingue Muslim hermit or monk from Senegal. In this scene, we witness the marabout kneeling on a riverbank near a fort, his presence exuding wisdom and spirituality. His serene expression suggests years of devotion and contemplation as he connects with nature and his inner self. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring life to every detail - from the intricate patterns adorning his flowing robes to the lush greenery surrounding him. It is evident that Abbe Boilat's Les Esquisses Senegalaises served as an invaluable source for capturing such authentic representation. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into one man's spiritual journey but also serves as a testament to the diversity and complexity of African cultures. The marabout symbolizes more than just a religious figure; he embodies tradition, tribal elderhood, and even witch doctor practices within his community. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry preserved by Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, let it remind us of our shared humanity across continents and centuries. This print invites us to appreciate the beauty found within different cultures while acknowledging their unique contributions to our collective history.
