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 evocative photograph captures the fierce and determined gaze of a group of Somali warriors from Aden, Somalia, in 1910. Dressed in their traditional attire, these soldiers stand proudly with their spears at the ready, their bodies adorned with intricate beadwork and intriguing amulets. The unusual footwear of the warriors, a combination of sandals and socks, adds to their distinctive appearance. The historical significance of this image lies in the fact that it offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich and complex cultural heritage of the Somali people. At a time when European powers were encroaching upon the Horn of Africa, these warriors represented the indomitable spirit of the Somali people, who had long defended their lands against external threats. The costume of the Somali warriors was not only functional but also deeply symbolic. The beadwork and amulets served not only as protection but also as a means of expressing their identity and connection to their ancestors. The spears, a symbol of power and strength, were an essential part of their arsenal, reflecting their prowess in battle. Despite the passage of time, the image of these Somali warriors continues to resonate with viewers, inspiring awe and admiration for their courage and resilience. This photograph is a reminder of the vibrant and diverse history of Africa, and the enduring strength of its people.
