31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment during the War in East Africa in 1916. The map, which is part of a book titled "The Great World War: A History", showcases the conquest of Kilimanjaro and the initial phase of General Smuts' campaign. Arrows indicate the movements of General Jan Smuts, who led the British forces in their mission to conquer German East Africa during World War I. The image portrays a significant chapter in African colonial history, highlighting concepts such as imperialism and colonialism. It offers insight into the geographical features and positions held by both sides during this conflict. The coastal region, particularly Mombasa in Kenya, served as an important location for military operations. Mount Kilimanjaro stands tall amidst this battlefield map, symbolizing both strategic importance and natural beauty. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported back to a time when nations clashed over power and control on the African continent. Although we do not know who specifically captured this momentous event on film or created this particular print, it remains an invaluable piece from Heritage Images that allows us to delve into history's past. Let us remember those brave soldiers who fought tirelessly on these frontlines under General Jan Smuts' command - their sacrifices forever etched within these lines on a forgotten map.
