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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

In Cronjes Laager after Surrender, 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant scene from the Second Anglo-Boer War that took place between 1899 and 1902 in what is now South Africa. The image showcases the aftermath of the Battle of Paardeberg, where Boer general Piet Cronje made the difficult decision to surrender to Lord Roberts, the British commander-in-chief. The photograph depicts a desolate landscape filled with horses and men amidst their makeshift camp known as "Laager". The war-torn environment serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of conflict. In this moment, General Piet A. Cronje stands tall among his fellow Boers, displaying both resilience and defeat. The presence of a white flag symbolizes surrender and marks an end to hostilities. It represents not only General Cronje's acceptance of defeat but also signifies hope for peace in this troubled land. This historical document was captured on a colored lantern slide by W. Butcher and Sons in London back in 1900. Preserved through time, it offers us a glimpse into one chapter of the Boer War – an era marked by intense struggle for power between Great Britain and independent Boer republics. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember those who fought bravely on both sides during this tumultuous period in history while acknowledging the profound impact it had on shaping South Africa's future.
