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 spirit of an African warrior participating in a ngoma, a traditional music and dance festival, in Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa, circa 1924. The ngoma was an essential part of African cultural life, serving as a means of celebrating community, honoring ancestors, and marking significant life events. The warrior, dressed in intricately designed body paint and adorned with animal horns, rides a bull as part of the festivities. The animal, likely a symbol of strength and power, adds to the grandeur of the occasion. The warrior's intense gaze and proud posture convey a sense of determination and courage. The ngoma was a time for the community to come together and celebrate their rich cultural heritage. The event brought people from all walks of life, including warriors, musicians, and dancers, to share in the joy and excitement of the occasion. The festival was an important way to preserve and pass down traditional customs and beliefs from one generation to the next. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the vibrant and diverse cultural traditions of Africa during the 1920s. The warrior's unwavering presence and the energy of the crowd serve as a reminder of the resilience and strength of African people and their deep connection to their history and heritage.
