31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 showcases a remarkable illustration from the 19th century, titled "General map of the European colonies in Africa". Created by the talented artist clu, this piece offers a glimpse into an era defined by exploration and colonial expansion. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the vast expanse of African territories under European control during that time. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported back to an age when nations were fiercely competing for dominance over African lands. This map serves as a visual testament to the scramble for Africa, where various European powers sought to establish their economic interests and exert political influence across the continent. The carefully crafted lines delineating borders reveal how boundaries were redrawn as colonial powers jostled for supremacy. Each color represents a different nation's sphere of influence, highlighting their territorial acquisitions and strategic holdings throughout Africa. Beyond its cartographic significance, this illustration also invites reflection on complex themes such as imperialism, cultural assimilation, and resistance movements that shaped Africa's history. It prompts us to contemplate both the positive contributions made by colonizers in terms of infrastructure development and education while acknowledging the detrimental impact on indigenous cultures and societies. In essence, this evocative print not only captures our attention with its aesthetic appeal but also encourages us to explore deeper layers of historical context surrounding Europe's colonization efforts in Africa during the 19th century.
