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
General William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, is warmly welcomed by Japanese generals and dignitaries as he arrives at the City Hall in Tokyo on April 1907. The historic moment marks the beginning of the Salvation Army's mission in Japan, a country that was rapidly modernizing and opening up to the outside world. Booth, who is seen here stepping out of a carriage, is greeted with a large party of officials and local dignitaries, all dressed in their formal attire and bearing flags of both the Salvation Army and Japan. The atmosphere is one of excitement and anticipation, as the Salvation Army's unique brand of Christian evangelism and social welfare was about to make a significant impact on Japanese society. The Japanese generals, who are also present at the welcoming ceremony, are shown in respectful attendance, reflecting the growing interest in Western ideas and influences that were shaping Japan's modernization. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of both the Salvation Army and Japan, as two powerful forces come together to make a difference in the lives of the people. The Salvation Army, which was founded in London in 1865, had already spread to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. But Japan represented a new frontier, and Booth's arrival marked the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership between the Salvation Army and the people of Japan. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the human spirit, as well as the capacity for cross-cultural understanding and cooperation.
