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 raw power and intensity of the Ashanti war drums from the Gold Coast region of present-day Ghana, West Africa. The Ashanti people are an indigenous ethnic group renowned for their rich cultural heritage and historical significance in African history. The drums, an essential component of their traditional music and warfare, have long been a symbol of their strength and resilience. In this image, a group of Ashanti drummers, their faces etched with focus and determination, are seen skillfully beating the large tom-like drums with an unyielding rhythm. The drums, made from hollowed-out logs covered with animal hides, emit a deep, resonant sound that reverberates through the air, evoking a sense of both awe and apprehension. The Ashanti people, who once ruled a vast empire stretching from the mid-17th to the late 19th century, used these drums to signal the beginning of a war or to rally their troops into battle. The drums were also used in religious and ceremonial contexts, reflecting the deep connection between music, spirituality, and community among the Ashanti people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the rhythms of war drums echoed through the forests of West Africa, signaling the approach of a powerful and formidable force. Today, the Ashanti war drums continue to be a source of pride and inspiration for the Ashanti people, as well as a reminder of their rich cultural heritage and the indomitable spirit of Africa.
