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 photo print, we are transported back to April 1880 in Washington, D. C. , where an extraordinary moment of communication between two Native American chiefs is captured. The Shoshone chief Tendoy and the Apache chief Huerito engage in a silent conversation using sign language. Wood engravings from Garrick Mallery's book "Sign Language Among the North American Indians" beautifully depict this historic encounter. On the left side of the image, Tendoy gestures with his hands, conveying that he will be departing in just two days to return to his homeland in Idaho. His right hand indicates heavy snowfall, suggesting that winter awaits him upon his arrival. This exchange showcases not only their ability to communicate without spoken words but also highlights their deep connection with nature and understanding of each other's cultures. The significance of this interaction lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of human connection transcending barriers such as language or cultural differences. It serves as a reminder that communication can take many forms and that true understanding can be achieved through empathy and openness. This remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into a time long gone while reminding us of the power of nonverbal communication and our shared humanity across diverse backgrounds.
