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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 a significant moment in the history of Catholicism in Canada, as the Catholic Mission to the Inuit in Newfoundland brings the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church to the Indigenous Inuit community in Labrador during the 1920s. At the heart of the image is Father Thomas J. Thibodeau, the Catholic Priest of the Mission, surrounded by a group of curious and receptive Inuit men, women, and children. The scene takes place in a remote, snow-covered landscape, highlighting the challenges and sacrifices made by the Mission to reach out to these remote communities. The Catholic Church had a long and complex relationship with Indigenous peoples in Canada, with efforts to convert and assimilate them beginning in the late 17th century. However, the Mission to the Inuit in Labrador represents a particularly noteworthy chapter in this history. The Inuit people, also known as Eskimos, were a nomadic and culturally distinct group, and their conversion to Catholicism was a gradual process that took place over several generations. In this photograph, we see the beginnings of this process, as Father Thibodeau and his fellow missionaries work to introduce the Catholic faith to the Inuit people. The children, dressed in Western-style clothing, are particularly receptive to the teachings, while the adults look on with interest and curiosity. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the human spirit, as well as the ongoing efforts to bridge cultural divides and build understanding between different communities.
