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.

1. Title: "Boys of No.1 Scout Troop, Kingston, Jamaica: A Moment of Discipline and Camaraderie on the Road" This evocative photograph captures the essence of scouting in the colonial era, as the Boys of No.1 Scout Troop from Kingston, Jamaica, stand proudly along a winding road, their staves at the ready. Dressed in their full scout uniforms, complete with hats and badges, these young boys exude a sense of discipline, focus, and determination. The scene is set against the lush, tropical backdrop of Jamaica, with the vibrant greenery and clear blue sky serving as a picturesque contrast to the boys' uniforms. The road, which winds through the landscape, adds a sense of adventure and exploration, as if these scouts are embarking on a grand expedition. The historical significance of this image is not lost on us. Scouting was introduced to the Caribbean during the colonial era, with the first scout troop in Jamaica being established in 1910. This photograph, taken likely in the 1930s or 1940s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the impact of colonialism on the region and the enduring appeal of scouting as a means of instilling values of responsibility, leadership, and teamwork in young people. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, witnessing a moment of pride and camaraderie among these Jamaican scouts, as they prepare for their next adventure on the road. The Boys of No.1 Scout Troop serve as a reminder of the rich history of scouting in the Caribbean and the enduring spirit of adventure that continues to inspire generations.
