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 powerful and evocative image captures Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (1809-1892), an influential African churchman and bishop of the Niger Territory in Nigeria. Born into an Ijaw community in what is now Bayelsa State, Crowther was educated by British missionaries and became a translator and interpreter for the Church Missionary Society (CMS). He played a pivotal role in the spread of Christianity in Nigeria, translating the Bible into several local languages and establishing schools and churches. Crowther's leadership and dedication to his faith were recognized when he was ordained as the first African Anglican bishop in 1864. He served as the bishop of the Niger Territory until his retirement in 1891. This photograph, taken during his later years, shows a distinguished and revered figure, with a stern yet compassionate expression. His clothing, consisting of a long robe and a mitre adorned with crosses, signifies his religious authority. Bishop Crowther's legacy extends far beyond his role as a religious leader. He was also a prominent advocate for the rights of African people and played a significant role in the abolition of the slave trade. He worked tirelessly to promote education, and his schools and churches provided essential services to communities in Nigeria, contributing to the social and economic development of the region. This image serves as a poignant reminder of Bishop Crowther's remarkable achievements and his enduring impact on the history of Nigeria and the Anglican Church. His unwavering commitment to his faith and his advocacy for the rights of his people continue to inspire generations.
