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 print captures the exterior of the European Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, during the 1920s. The building stands tall and proud against the backdrop of East Africa, showcasing a blend of European architectural influence with its African surroundings.
The hospital's facade exudes a sense of grandeur and importance, reflecting its crucial role in providing medical care to both local residents and expatriates living in Nairobi at that time. The intricate details of the building's design speak to a bygone era when healthcare was beginning to modernize and expand across the continent.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time to an era where colonial influences were prevalent in East Africa. The juxtaposition of Western architecture against the African landscape serves as a reminder of Kenya's complex history and cultural heritage.
The On Call in Africa Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this snapshot from the past for us to admire and reflect upon. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of healthcare institutions like the European Hospital, which have played a vital role in shaping communities and improving public health throughout Africa.
This print is not just a visual representation of a building; it is a window into another time and place that continues to resonate with us today.
