17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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 print captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of a French mission at Lake Chad in 1903. The image showcases the historical event with a group of French officials and soldiers disembarking from their boats onto the shores of Lake Chad, ready to embark on their mission.
The scene is filled with intrigue as the men don traditional pith helmets and carry various supplies, hinting at the challenges they may face in this unfamiliar African landscape. The calm waters of Lake Chad provide a serene backdrop to this pivotal moment, highlighting the juxtaposition between the natural beauty of Africa and the arrival of foreign influence.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of many colonial missions that shaped the course of history in Africa. The image serves as a reminder of both the exploration and exploitation that characterized European interactions with African nations during this period.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly preserved this piece of history through their collection, allowing us to reflect on past events and gain insight into our shared global heritage. This print is not just an image but a window into another era, inviting us to contemplate the complexities of colonialism and its lasting impact on societies around the world.
