Consulate Guangzhou Guards Pagoda
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 photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing "The Native Guard of Sir D. B Robertson, British Consulate, Canton" in 1872. Taken by the talented photographer John Thomson, this print offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on an intriguing chapter of Chinese-British relations. In this image, we see a group of Tartar soldiers standing proudly as they serve as personal guards to Sir D. B Robertson, the British Consul at that time. The soldiers are dressed immaculately in their uniforms, exuding strength and discipline. Their presence is heightened by the imposing cannon positioned behind them. The backdrop of Guangzhou provides a stunning setting for this photograph. A pagoda can be seen towering over the scene, adding an element of cultural richness to the composition. The contrast between traditional Chinese architecture and Western military attire creates a fascinating visual juxtaposition. Thomson's skillful use of photography enhances the timeless quality of this image while capturing intricate details with remarkable clarity. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. As we gaze upon "The Native Guard" we are transported back to 1872 Canton - witnessing not only the convergence of two cultures but also gaining insight into how power dynamics played out during that era. It is through images like these that we can better understand our shared global history.
