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.

This photo print, titled "Military Parade, Saint-Louis, Senegal, c. 1900" takes us back in time to the era of French colonialism in Africa. The image captures a momentous military parade taking place on the streets of Saint-Louis, Senegal. The photograph showcases a group of African males dressed in uniforms alongside their French counterparts. These soldiers stand tall and proud as they march together through the city's bustling streets. The presence of both native troops and French officers highlights the complex dynamics between colonizers and colonized during this period. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that this image represents more than just a military display; it symbolizes power struggles, cultural exchange, and the impact of colonization on African societies. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains anonymous but has masterfully captured the essence of this significant event. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph serves as a testament to an era long gone. Through its depiction of uniformed soldiers from different backgrounds marching side by side, "Military Parade" invites us to reflect upon themes such as identity, nationalism, and imperialism—a powerful reminder that history is not confined solely to textbooks but can be vividly brought to life through art like this timeless photograph.
