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 lithograph depicts the Ko-i-Staun Foot Soldiery in their summer costumes, actively employed among the rocks. Part of a series of 30 colored lithographs titled "The costumes of the various tribes, portraits of ladies of rank, celebrated Princes and Chiefs, views of the principal fortresses and cities and interior of the cities and temples of Afghaunistaun," this print was created by R Carrick after Lt. James Rattray of the 2nd Grenadiers, Bengal Army. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring to life the rugged terrain and the determined stance of the Ko-i-Staun foot soldiers. Dating back to circa 1842, this print is an invaluable historical record of the 1st Afghan War (1838-1842). The soldiers, dressed in their summer uniforms, are shown in a natural setting, blending seamlessly with the rocks and boulders, as they go about their duties. The series, published by Hering and Remington in London and printed by Day and Son, offers a unique glimpse into the culture and daily life of the people of Afghanistan during this tumultuous period in history. The lithographs in this series provide a visual representation of the diverse tribes, costumes, fortresses, cities, and temples of Afghanistan, offering a rich and detailed account of the region and its people. This particular print, with its striking image of the Ko-i-Staun Foot Soldiery in summer costume, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and publishers of the time, and a valuable addition to any collection of historical prints or military memorabilia.
