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 striking 19th-century engraving captures an intriguing moment in the annals of African colonialism: explorers attending a party in honor of their achievements in Niger, 1881. The image presents a vivid tableau of the encounter between European explorers and the indigenous people of Africa. The European explorers, dressed in their finest attire, are seen mingling with local dancers, musicians, and tribesmen. The air is filled with the sounds of African music as a dancer plays a percussion instrument, while another performs an energetic dance under the shade of a large umbrella. European spectators, some with accordions in hand, observe the spectacle with a mixture of fascination and curiosity. The indigenous people, dressed in their traditional attire, seem to be equally intrigued by the Europeans, who have brought with them new technologies, ideas, and cultural practices. This engraving offers a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted nature of colonialism, a time when the world was being connected and transformed in ways that would forever alter the course of history. The image is a poignant reminder of the human capacity for both exploration and exploitation, as well as the enduring power of music and dance to bridge cultural divides.
