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
1. Title: "A German Colonial Legacy: The Bronze Bust of Otto von Bismarck in Tanga, Tanzania" This evocative photograph captures the bronze bust of Otto Eduard Leopold, Prince of Bismarck, Duke of Lauenburg (1815-1898), standing proudly on its plinth in the bustling seaport city of Tanga, Tanzania. The bust, a testament to the enduring influence of German colonial history in Africa, dates back to the early 1910s when Tanga was part of German East Africa, now modern-day Tanzania. Bismarck, a renowned German statesman, served as Chancellor of the German Empire from 1871 to 1890, playing a pivotal role in unifying Germany and shaping its political landscape. His bust, cast in bronze, was erected in Tanga as a symbol of German colonial power and influence. The bust's placement in the city's central business district underscores the significance of Tanga as a key port city in the German colonial territory. The bust's intricate details and the patina on its surface reflect the passage of time, while the surrounding lush vegetation and modern buildings serve as a stark contrast to the colonial past. The bust's presence in Tanga continues to evoke memories of a bygone era, a time when European powers vied for territorial dominance in Africa. As Tanga and Tanzania continue to grow and develop, the bronze bust of Bismarck stands as a reminder of the complex and often controversial history of colonialism in Africa. It serves as a poignant reminder of the past, a symbol of the enduring connections between Germany and Tanzania, and a testament to the rich cultural and historical heritage of Tanga and its people. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the intersection of history, culture, and colonialism, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of the past and the enduring legacies of colonialism in Africa and beyond.
