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 "AFRICA: YAO CHIEF, 1889" takes us back in time to the late 19th century when imperialism was at its peak. The image showcases Chief Mpama of the Yao tribe, located in Nyasaland (present-day Malawi), through a detailed line engraving from 1889. Chief Mpama stands tall and proud, representing the resilience and strength of African leaders during a period marked by British colonial rule. As a Muslim leader within East Africa, he embodies the rich cultural diversity found on the continent. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate not only Chief Mpama's regal attire but also his facial expressions that exude wisdom and determination. His presence commands respect as he gazes into the distance with an air of authority. This artwork serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity of African history. It invites us to reflect upon the impact of imperialism on indigenous communities while celebrating their enduring spirit. Through this image, we are transported to an era where cultures collided and power dynamics shifted. As we admire this piece from The Granger Collection's Art on Demand series, let it serve as an invitation to delve deeper into Africa's past - one that is filled with stories waiting to be discovered and shared.
