Gathering Loincloth Tribe Natives
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 the essence of a Bosjesman family, as depicted in Prof. Friedrich Ratzel's renowned publication, "The History of Mankind". The frontispiece from Volume 1 transports us back to 1896, offering a glimpse into the lives of these native African tribes. In this image, we witness an intimate moment within the tribe. Clad in traditional loincloths, the family members are engrossed in various activities that reflect their way of life. One man sits cross-legged on the ground, puffing leisurely on his pipe while others gather around him. Their faces reveal wisdom and resilience acquired through generations. The scene exudes a sense of unity and harmony with nature; it is evident that hunting plays a vital role in their survival. These resourceful individuals possess an innate connection to their surroundings - an invaluable skill passed down through ancestral knowledge. As we delve deeper into this remarkable print by Mutzel (fl. 1825-28), our imagination takes flight, envisioning how these indigenous people navigated life amidst vast landscapes and untamed wilderness. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's diverse tapestry and our shared history. It invites us to appreciate cultures different from our own while acknowledging the strength found within communal bonds. Through its timeless beauty and historical significance, this image resonates with viewers across time and space – reminding us all that every culture has stories worth exploring and cherishing for generations to come.
