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 lithograph, published in 1897, showcases a historical map of the once German colony East Africa. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the topography and cultural richness of this region between 1885 and 1918. Present-day Burundi, Rwanda, and mainland Tanzania are depicted with precision on this print. As we delve into this piece, it becomes evident that it is not merely a geographical representation but also a testament to the era of colonialism. It serves as a reminder of how European powers sought to exert their influence over vast territories across Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The map reveals various landmarks such as Mount Kilimanjaro majestically towering over the landscape while the Indian Ocean's coastline stretches along its eastern border. Zanzibar emerges as an important hub within this colonial network alongside Kenya. Through this lithograph, we gain insight into both African and German cultures intertwining within these lands. It invites us to reflect upon the complexities brought about by colonization - its impact on local populations, traditions, and histories. With its vertical format and meticulous engravings, this print captures our attention with every glance. It stands not only as an artistic creation but also as a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on an era defined by exploration, conquests, struggles for independence, and ultimately shaping nations in East Africa.
