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 photograph captures a moment from the Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as it made its way through London in June 1887, specifically at West Brompton. The image showcases a line of performers, a mix of Native Americans and Americans, preparing for the next act. Buffalo Bill, the show's founder and star, is not present in the frame, but his influence is palpable in the determined expressions and poised readiness of his troupe. The Wild West Show was a spectacle unlike any other during that era, offering audiences a glimpse into the untamed American West through a blend of authentic Native American performances, thrilling rodeos, and daring stunts. The performers in this photograph, dressed in traditional attire, are seen mounting their horses, ready to display their riding skills and cultural traditions for the London crowd. The presence of both Native Americans and Americans in the show was a controversial aspect, as some argued that it perpetuated stereotypes and exploited indigenous peoples. However, for many, the Wild West Show provided an unparalleled entertainment experience, offering a glimpse into a world that seemed far removed from the bustling streets of Victorian London. This photograph, with its striking composition and rich historical context, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the Wild West and the unique role it played in shaping popular culture during the late 19th century.
