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
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Golf Links in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), circa 1920. The image transports us back in time to the 1920s, an era of colonial rule and the height of the British imperial presence in Africa. The scene is set against a backdrop of towering trees, their branches reaching out to embrace the clear blue sky. The trees, a characteristic feature of the region, frame the expansive golf course, their leaves casting dappled shadows on the lush, green grass. The course, a testament to the colonial influence, stretches out before us, its undulating terrain a challenge for even the most skilled golfers. The tranquility of the scene is broken only by the sight of a solitary golfer in the distance, his figure small against the vast expanse of the course. He stands poised, his golf club raised, ready to take a swing at the ball that lies before him. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when colonialism and the pursuit of sport went hand in hand. The photograph is a reminder of the rich history of Bulawayo, a city that has seen its fair share of change over the decades. From its early days as a colonial outpost to its present-day status as a vibrant and diverse urban center, Golf Links remains a cherished part of the city's heritage. This image invites us to reflect on the past, while also celebrating the enduring beauty and charm of this iconic golf course.
