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
In this evocative image from 1648, Dutch prisoners are seen being loaded onto Portuguese ships in the harbor of Luanda, Angola, following the Dutch defeat in the Colonial War. The Portuguese, who had long sought to expand their colonial empire in Africa, emerged victorious in this conflict, which marked the end of Dutch control over the region. The Dutch prisoners, dressed in tattered and worn clothing, are shown being herded onto the ships under the watchful eyes of Portuguese soldiers and sailors. The decks of the vessels are crowded with men, women, and children, all crammed together in the harsh conditions of the African coast. The ships' masts and rigging loom overhead, casting deep shadows across the scene. The background of the photograph reveals the bustling activity of the harbor, with other ships anchored in the water and African porters moving back and forth along the docks. The scene is one of chaos and disorder, as the Dutch prisoners are forcibly removed from their former colony and transported to Portugal. This image offers a powerful reminder of the complex and often brutal history of colonialism in Africa. The Dutch had established a colony in Angola in the late 16th century, but their rule was marked by conflict and resistance from local African populations. The Portuguese, who had long coveted the region, saw an opportunity to expand their own colonial empire and seized the moment to launch a successful military campaign against the Dutch. The forced embarkation of Dutch prisoners from Luanda was just one of many such incidents in the history of colonialism in Africa. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of colonial conquest and the enduring impact of European expansion on the African continent.
