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 captures the commanding presence of Bovane, the Swazi Commander-in-Chief, during the late 19th century. Taken during an episode of the Anglo-Zulu Wars, this image showcases a side view of a distinguished man wearing traditional attire and a hat that symbolizes his authority. Bovane's profile exudes strength and wisdom as he leans against what appears to be a local structure, possibly reflecting his deep connection with his country and its people. Holding a book in his hand, he embodies both military prowess and intellectual curiosity. The British influence is evident in Bovane's dress, which combines elements from both South African indigenous culture and British military tradition. This fusion represents not only the complex history of imperialism but also highlights Bovane's role as an intermediary between two worlds. James Grant skillfully engraved this portrait for inclusion in "British Battles on Land and Sea" adding depth to our understanding of this significant historical period. The monochrome aesthetic further emphasizes the gravity of these events while capturing every intricate detail. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by nations during times of war. It invites us to reflect on how individuals like Bovane played pivotal roles in shaping their countries' destinies amidst external pressures.
