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 a significant moment in history - David Livingstone's discovery of Lake Ngami in Botswana on 1 August 1849. In this engraving, we see Livingstone, a Scottish missionary and African explorer, standing proudly on the shore of the lake alongside members of his expedition. What makes this image even more remarkable is the presence of Livingstone's wife and family by his side. Livingstone was an extraordinary individual who dedicated his life to exploring Africa and spreading Christianity. He gained fame as the first European to discover the majestic Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River. However, it was during his search for the source of the Nile that he fell seriously ill and went missing. Thankfully, he was found by Henry Morton Stanley in 1871 but never fully recovered from his illness. In this photograph, we witness not only an important geographical discovery but also a glimpse into Livingstone's personal life. His wife and children accompany him on this arduous journey, highlighting their unwavering support for his mission. The image showcases a boat floating peacefully on Lake Ngami, symbolizing both exploration and transportation across vast African landscapes. It serves as a reminder of Livingstone's commitment to uncovering new frontiers while navigating uncharted waters. This historical print offers us insight into one man's determination to explore unknown territories while upholding religious values amidst challenging circumstances. It stands as a testament to David Livingstone's enduring legacy as an intrepid explorer and devoted missionary in 19th-century Africa.
