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
Amidst the vast savannas of Sudan, Africa, in the early 1900s, the once harmonious relationship between humans and lions took a tragic turn. In this poignant photograph, a lioness lies dead on the ground, her once powerful body now a victim of the relentless hunt. The lioness, a majestic and awe-inspiring creature, was hunted and killed for the thrill and sport, a practice that was all too common during this era. The Sudanese landscape, with its towering acacia trees and endless plains, served as the backdrop for this cruelty. The hunter, standing proudly over his kill, holds up his rifle, a symbol of power and dominance. The hut, a simple yet significant structure, represents the encroachment of civilization into the wild. The 1900s marked a dark period in the history of lion hunting in Africa. Lions were hunted for their fur, bones, and body parts, which were highly valued in the global market. The demand for lion products fueled the hunt, leading to a significant decline in lion populations. This photograph is a stark reminder of the sad reality of the past. It serves as a call to action, urging us to reflect on the consequences of our actions and the impact they have on the natural world. Today, we strive to protect and preserve the majesty of lions and their habitats, ensuring that future generations can marvel at their power and grace. The lioness in this photograph may be gone, but her spirit lives on, inspiring us to be guardians of the wild.
