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 "Westerners At The Gates" transports us back to a significant moment in history - the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. Captured by Gordon Browne, this drawing turned photograph showcases the officers of the Eight-Nation Alliance standing at the gates of Beijing's Forbidden City in China. The image is filled with intrigue and tension as these Western figures, representing various nations including Britain, France, Germany, and Russia among others, gather together during a time of conflict. Their presence at such an iconic symbol of Chinese culture highlights the clash between East and West that defined this tumultuous period. The Boxer Rebellion was a violent uprising against foreign influence and Christian missionaries in China. This rebellion led to intense fighting between the Boxers (a secret society) and an international coalition force known as the Eight-Nation Alliance. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the weight of their collective power as they stand united against those who sought to challenge their interests. Through this print from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, viewers are given a glimpse into a pivotal moment where cultures collided amidst political turmoil. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared human history but also how art has preserved moments like these for generations to come.
