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 showcases an exquisite illustration of the head of the Queen Mother of Benin, also known as Iyoba. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship bring this traditional African sculpture to life, capturing the essence of indigenous culture and African heritage. In a stunning juxtaposition, the regal female likeness is positioned in front of a map of Africa, symbolizing both her significance within Benin's history and her connection to the broader continent. This artistic choice highlights not only her royal status but also emphasizes the importance of geography and physical location in understanding cultural traditions. The use of pen and ink combined with watercolor painting techniques adds depth and vibrancy to this studio shot. Against a clean white background, every line and brushstroke becomes more pronounced, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry behind this remarkable piece. Dorling Kindersley has masterfully captured tradition through color imagery in this print. It serves as a powerful reminder of Africa's rich cultural tapestry while honoring an influential queen who played a pivotal role in shaping Benin's history.
