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 photograph captures the regal presence of Queen Nenzima of the Mangbetu tribe in the Belgian Congo, Central Africa, taken in the year 1922 during the 1920s. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the African continent during a time of significant historical change. Queen Nenzima, adorned in traditional attire, exudes an air of grace and dignity. Her intricately designed necklace made of beads and shells, along with her long, meticulously manicured nails and hairpins, reflect the importance placed on beauty and adornment in Mangbetu culture. Her skin, a testament to her African heritage, glows with the radiance of the African sun. The Mangbetu people, indigenous to the region now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, were renowned for their unique physical features and sophisticated culture. Queen Nenzima's leadership and influence extended beyond her tribe, making her a significant figure in the region during the early 20th century. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the diverse and complex histories that make up the African continent. It invites us to reflect on the experiences of women like Queen Nenzima, whose stories have often been overlooked in the annals of history. Today, as we strive to promote greater understanding and appreciation for the richness and complexity of African cultures, images like this one continue to inspire and educate us.
