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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Missionary Haven in Regent, Sierra Leone: Church and House, 1850 This evocative image transports us back to the 1850s in Regent, Sierra Leone, West Africa, where a missionary house and church stand as a beacon of hope and faith in a vibrant African community. The photograph, taken around 1850, captures the essence of the Victorian era's missionary movement, which sought to spread Christianity and promote education and civilisation in Africa. The church, with its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the missionaries who braved the challenges of a foreign land to share their beliefs. Its tall, arched windows and simple, yet elegant design reflect the architectural influences of the time, while the lush greenery surrounding the building adds a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. Adjacent to the church stands the missionary house, a two-story structure that served as both residence and administrative center for the missionaries. The house's symmetrical facade, with its wooden balconies and shuttered windows, exudes a sense of order and stability amidst the bustling African landscape. The missionaries and their families would have lived here, conducting daily life while also engaging in evangelism and community outreach. The people of Regent, dressed in traditional African attire, are seen milling about the area, demonstrating the diverse cultural blend that characterized the region during this period. The image offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the rich history of missionary work in Sierra Leone and the profound impact it had on the lives of the local population. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of the missionaries who dedicated their lives to spreading the message of Christianity and making a difference in the lives of those they encountered in Africa. It serves as a testament to the power of faith, perseverance, and the human spirit.
