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 a glimpse of history in Ghana, specifically at James Fort in Accra. The fort, dating back to 1799, stands as a testament to the rich and complex history of West Africa. In this image, soldiers can be seen standing guard at the fort, showcasing the military presence that once protected this important stronghold.
The architecture of James Fort is striking, with its imposing walls and sturdy construction symbolizing the power and influence it held during its time. The fort served as a key strategic point for trade and defense along the coast of Ghana, playing a significant role in shaping the region's history.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when European powers vied for control over African territories. The soldiers depicted here remind us of the conflicts and struggles that took place within these walls centuries ago.
Through this image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength of the people who lived and worked within James Fort. It serves as a poignant reminder of both the triumphs and tragedies that have shaped Ghana's past.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation but also a powerful historical document that sheds light on an important chapter in West Africa's story.
