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: "A Glimpse into the Past: Maseru Hospital, Basutoland (Now Lesotho), South Africa, Circa 1904 2.. This evocative photograph captures Maseru Hospital, a two-storey sandstone building nestled on a hill in Basutoland, South Africa (now Lesotho), circa 1904. Established during the British colonial era, this hospital served as a vital healthcare facility for the local community in the early 1900s. With approximately thirty beds, it was one of the few medical institutions in the region during that time. The southern African climate, characterized by its dry and hot conditions, is evident in the arid landscape surrounding the hospital. The sandstone structure, with its intricate railings and terrace, stands as a testament to the architectural elegance of the colonial era. The building's design, featuring large windows and ample space, allowed for adequate ventilation and natural light, essential features for maintaining a healthy environment in the hospital. Maseru, the capital city of Lesotho, was a significant hub during the British colonial rule, and the hospital played a crucial role in providing medical care to the residents. The presence of the hospital underscores the British Empire's commitment to improving the health and well-being of its colonies, as well as its influence on the architectural and infrastructural development of Basutoland. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of healthcare in southern Africa during the early 1900s. The enduring sandstone structure continues to stand proudly on the hill, serving as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Maseru and Lesotho.
