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 showcases Cecil John Rhodes, a prominent British administrator and financier in South Africa during the 19th century. The image captures Rhodes in an equestrian pose at Kimberley, South Africa, skillfully drawn by Mortimer Menpes. Rhodes exudes power and authority as he sits atop his horse with confidence. His silhouette against the backdrop of the African landscape adds to the allure of this portrait. As one of the key figures in British colonialism, Rhodes played a significant role in shaping South Africa's history. The drawing beautifully captures Rhodes' determination and ambition that propelled him to become one of Great Britain's most influential men during that era. With his sharp features and piercing gaze, it is evident that he possessed both intelligence and charisma. This print serves as a reminder of the complex legacy left behind by individuals like Cecil John Rhodes - admired by some for their achievements but also criticized for their involvement in colonialist endeavors. It invites viewers to reflect on the impact of imperialism while appreciating the artistic talent displayed by Mortimer Menpes.
