23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 titled "Woman & Child of the Bushman Race, 1848" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of southern Africa in the 19th century. The image showcases a mother and child from the indigenous Bushman race, beautifully captured by an unknown creator and engraved by James Cowles Prichard. Dressed in traditional costumes that reflect their ethnicity, this woman exudes grace and strength as she cradles her child. The intricate details of their clothing highlight the vibrant colors and unique patterns associated with their local culture. It is evident that every element has been carefully crafted to preserve their identity. The engraving not only serves as a visual representation but also provides valuable insights into ethnography and natural history during that era. This portrait captures more than just an individual; it encapsulates an entire community's way of life. Notably, we observe the woman smoking a pipe, showcasing one aspect of daily life for these people. Tobacco was an integral part of their customs, reflecting both social practices and personal rituals. As we admire this remarkable piece from our past, let us appreciate its significance in preserving history while honoring the resilience and beauty found within different cultures across our diverse continent.
