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 Empire Marketing Board poster, titled 'Empire Tobacco' and dated between 1927 and 1933, showcases a striking image of a confident white British man, seated in the lush greenery of what is now Zimbabwe or Nyasaland. He is depicted in the prime of his health, smoking a pipe with an air of contentment, surrounded by bountiful tobacco leaves and the vibrant colors of the African landscape. The poster, part of the Empire Marketing Board's advertising campaign during the 1920s and 1930s, aimed to promote the economic and cultural connections between the British Empire's various territories. In this particular advertisement, the focus is on the tobacco industry, which thrived in the region during this time. The poster's design is a testament to the artistic and graphic prowess of the era, with its bold lines, vivid colors, and intricate details. The use of the native figures in the background, dressed in traditional attire, adds an authentic touch to the image and reinforces the idea of the Empire's diverse and far-reaching influence. Despite its age, this poster continues to capture the imagination and evoke a sense of nostalgia for the colonial past. It serves as a visual reminder of the rich history and complex relationships that existed between the British Empire and its various territories during the 1920s and 1930s.
