23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of Dr. Toussaint's arrival at the port of Gadok in the Dutch East Indies, now known as Indonesia, in 1859. Dr. Toussaint, a Dutch physician, is seen disembarking from a European ship, surrounded by local porters and Dutch colonial officials. The image offers a glimpse into the complex interplay of European exploration, colonialism, and cultural exchange that characterized the Dutch presence in Indonesia during the 19th century. The Dutch East Indies, a vast archipelago of over 17,000 islands, had long been a prized possession of the Dutch colonial empire. European explorers had first arrived in the region in the 16th century, and over the following centuries, the Dutch established a vast network of trading posts, plantations, and administrative centers. Dr. Toussaint's arrival at Gadok marks a significant moment in the history of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia. As a physician, he would have played a crucial role in the maintenance of Dutch colonial rule, providing medical care to European settlers and soldiers, as well as to the local population. His presence also underscores the ongoing cultural exchange between Europe and Indonesia, with Dutch ideas, technologies, and practices influencing local societies, and vice versa. The photograph itself is a testament to the rich history of travel and exploration that connects Europe and Indonesia. The image's composition, with Dr. Toussaint standing proudly on the dock against the backdrop of the Indonesian landscape, evokes a sense of adventure and discovery, while also highlighting the complex power dynamics at play in this colonial encounter.
