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
Mohave-Judith, c1903: A Haunting Gaze from the Past This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Judith, a Mohave woman, as she gazes directly into the camera lens with an air of quiet intensity. Taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis during the early 1900s, this head-and-shoulders image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Mohave people, an indigenous tribe from the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Judith's traditional attire, which includes a semi-dress made of animal hides and intricately beaded jewelry, speaks to the tribe's deep connection to the natural world. The seashell necklace draped around her neck adds an element of aquatic life, reflecting the Mohave's historic reliance on the Colorado River for sustenance. Despite her striking appearance, Judith's expression conveys a sense of hostility or unhappiness, possibly a result of the encroachment of European settlers and the disruption of traditional ways of life. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex history and resilience of Native American tribes in the face of adversity. As a seminal figure in American anthropology, Edward Sheriff Curtis documented countless indigenous cultures through his photography, helping to preserve their stories for future generations. Today, his work remains a testament to the rich diversity and complexity of North America's first peoples.
