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 photograph, titled "JOHN HANNING SPEKE (1827-1864) Traveller in Africa," is a striking image of the English explorer, John Hanning Speke, as he is often remembered: bearded, intrepid, and holding a gun. The photograph was taken around 1864, during the height of Speke's African explorations. Speke, born in 1827, was a British explorer, soldier, and author, best known for his role in the discovery of Lake Victoria, which he believed to be the source of the Nile River. Speke's journey to Africa began in 1852 when he joined the East Africa Company as a clerk. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a trader and then a soldier, eventually leading expeditions into the interior of Africa. In this photograph, Speke is shown dressed for the African terrain, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, trousers, and a wide-brimmed hat. He holds a gun in his right hand, a necessary tool for protection against the various dangers of the African wilderness. Speke's beard, which became a distinguishing feature of his later years, is also evident in this image. The photograph was taken by an unknown photographer, but it is believed to have been taken during Speke's second expedition to Africa, which took place between 1857 and 1860. During this expedition, Speke and his companion, Richard Francis Burton, explored the Great Lakes region of East Africa and made significant discoveries regarding the geography of the area. Speke's explorations were groundbreaking, and his discoveries helped to expand European knowledge of Africa. Tragically, Speke's life was cut short when he was killed in a hunting accident in 1864, at the age of 37. Today, he is remembered as a brave and intrepid explorer who opened up new frontiers of knowledge and understanding about the African continent.
