Matabeleland Missionaries Moffat
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the humble abode of British missionaries Robert and Mary Moffat in Matabeleland, Africa during the 1860s. The Moffats dedicated their lives to spreading Christianity and education in this remote region, leaving a lasting impact on the local community.
The image provides a glimpse into the simple yet meaningful life led by these devoted missionaries. Surrounded by vast African landscapes, their home stands as a symbol of hope and faith in a challenging environment.
Robert and Mary Moffat's legacy as pioneers of religious outreach in Africa is evident in this historical photograph. Their commitment to serving others and sharing their beliefs shines through in every detail of their modest dwelling.
As we reflect on this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the power of compassion and dedication to making a difference in the world. The Moffats' story serves as an inspiration for future generations to follow their example and strive for positive change wherever they may be.
Thanks to Mary Evans Picture Library, we are able to witness this piece of history preserved through time, offering us a window into the remarkable lives of two extraordinary individuals who left an indelible mark on Matabeleland.
