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 "Five Recruits: Ummee Chund, Indur, Goolzaree, Bukhtawur and Juhaz" captures the essence of a significant historical moment. Created by Ghulam Ali Khan in 1815-16, this opaque watercolor on paper artwork measures 27x39 cm and is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution. The painting depicts five men who were recruited by William Fraser during the Nepal War in 1814. Fraser was a political officer in the East India Company responsible for assembling an irregular force to combat the Gurkha forces in hilly terrains. The inscription on the cover paper by Fraser provides valuable information about each recruit's background. Juhaz, a Rajpoot from Loharee; Bukhtawur, a Rajpoot near Benares; Goolzaree, a Moosulum Rajpoot from Neesung village; Indur, a goojur from Syyudpoor village; and Ummee Chund – Kalas nephew, a Rose by cast from Datchour village are depicted as they presented themselves to enlist. This artwork offers insight into both historical events and cultural diversity within India during that period. It serves as an important visual record of individuals who played crucial roles in conflicts against the Gurkha forces. Through this image, we can appreciate their bravery and dedication to their cause. The Fine Art Finder has made this remarkable piece accessible for all to admire and learn from.
