FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 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.

Dominican Convent High School, Salisbury, Harare, Zimbabwe (circa 1910): A Glimpse into the Past of Educational Excellence in Colonial Africa This evocative photograph captures the Dominican Convent High School in Salisbury, Harare, Zimbabwe, around the year 1910. Established in 1898, the Dominican Convent High School was one of the earliest and most prestigious educational institutions in what was then known as Rhodesia. The Dominican Sisters, an order of Catholic nuns, founded the school with a mission to provide quality education to the daughters of European settlers and the local elite. The photograph reveals a serene and picturesque scene of the school's sprawling campus, with its red-roofed buildings, lush gardens, and tall trees. The Sisters, dressed in their traditional habits, can be seen in the foreground, engaged in various activities with their students. The girls, dressed in their uniforms, are seen playing, studying, or participating in a drill, reflecting the disciplined and structured educational environment. The Dominican Convent High School was a beacon of excellence in colonial Africa, producing generations of educated women who went on to make significant contributions to Zimbabwean society. The school's legacy continues to this day, with the Dominican Convent High School in Harare remaining a respected and influential institution in Zimbabwean education. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of education in Zimbabwe and the important role that institutions like the Dominican Convent High School played in shaping the lives of young girls in colonial Africa. It is a testament to the enduring power of education and the transformative impact it can have on individuals and communities.
