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 striking image captures the enigmatic figure of a Dervish warrior from the Sudanese forces, dressed in a jibbah dated 1898. The photograph is associated with the historic Battle of Omdurman, which took place during the 2nd Sudan War from 1896 to 1899. The jibbah, a traditional Sudanese robe, is thought to be ceremonial in nature due to its thin material and intricate patchwork design. The Battle of Omdurman marked the final major confrontation between the British Empire, led by General Horatio Kitchener, and the Sudanese Dervish forces under the command of the Mahdist leader, Abdullahi ibn Muhammad. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the British, effectively ending the Mahdist state and paving the way for British rule in Sudan. The jibbah in this photograph stands out in contrast to the rough and heavy jibbahs worn by other Dervish warriors during the battle. Its thin material and neat patchwork suggest that it was not intended for use in the heat of battle but rather for ceremonial purposes. The jibbah's delicate design and the warrior's intense gaze convey a sense of pride and determination, making this image a powerful reminder of the complex history and culture of the Sudanese people during this turbulent time in their history.
