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 the "Plan of Kimberley and Environs, 1900" a significant historical artifact from the Second Boer War. The creator of this plan remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. Taken from Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War, Vol. III" published in Edinburgh in 1900 by T. C. & E. C. Jack, this print transports us back to a pivotal moment in South African history. The image depicts the Siege of Kimberley, which occurred during the war between British forces and Boer settlers in Cape Colony. It offers a detailed diagram of Kimberley's layout at that time, providing valuable insights into military strategies employed during this conflict.
