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 wood engraving, created around 1840, depicts a significant encounter between an American missionary and a Native American shaman in the Pennsylvania wilderness during the year 1745. The print showcases the historical figure David Brainerd (1718-1747), who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity among indigenous communities. In this scene, we witness Brainerd's remarkable meeting with the shaman within his humble hut adorned with ritualistic objects. The image beautifully captures the stark contrast between their appearances - Brainerd dressed in colonial attire while the shaman dons a fur coat and mask representing his spiritual connection to nature. The engraving highlights not only cultural differences but also hints at potential mutual respect as they engage in conversation. It is fascinating to observe how these two individuals from vastly different backgrounds navigate their beliefs and ideologies amidst the untouched beauty of North America's wilderness. This artwork serves as a visual representation of an important chapter in history - one that reflects both colonization efforts and religious conversion during the Great Awakening period. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the complexity inherent in encounters between cultures, as well as our shared human desire for understanding and connection across boundaries.
