23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this print, we are transported back to the Mashonaland Expedition of 1890 in Rhodesia. The image captures a pivotal moment as members of the British South Africa Police navigate their way across a stream. With determination etched on their faces, these brave men forge ahead, embodying the spirit of adventure and exploration. The scene is brought to life through the intricate engravings by P. Haumann after W. R. Wollen, showcasing their attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship. Every line tells a story - from the rippling water beneath the horses' hooves to the stoic expressions of both man and beast. As our gaze extends beyond the crossing, we catch sight of an ox-drawn wagon laden with supplies for this daring expedition. The presence of this cart reminds us that progress often comes at great cost; it symbolizes not only transport but also colonization itself. This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into an era defined by ambition and conquest, where intrepid explorers ventured into uncharted territories in search of new frontiers. It serves as a reminder that history is shaped by those who dare to venture beyond known boundaries. Preserved within this photograph lies not just an artistic masterpiece but also a testament to human resilience and curiosity. As we contemplate its significance today, let us remember both the triumphs and tragedies that have marked our collective journey towards understanding ourselves and our world better.
