17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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 evocative photograph captures H Warren Smith, Scoutmaster of the Bellevue Scout Troop in Johannesburg, South Africa, as he stands proudly among his dedicated young scouts. The year is uncertain, but the image exudes an air of colonial South Africa in the mid-20th century. Smith, a distinguished man with a stern yet gentle expression, wears his Scoutmaster uniform complete with a hat adorned with badges and insignia. His scouts, clad in their own uniforms, stand attentively behind him, their youthful faces reflecting a sense of camaraderie and adventure. The Bellevue Scout Troop was part of the larger Scouting movement, which was founded in the UK by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907. The movement quickly spread to South Africa, where it became popular among both European and African communities. Scouting provided a structured environment for young people to learn valuable life skills, such as navigation, camping, and first aid, as well as instilling important values like responsibility, respect, and teamwork. Despite the colonial context of this photograph, it is essential to remember that Scouting in South Africa was not solely a tool of colonialism. Rather, it offered a space for interracial interaction and the fostering of cross-cultural understanding. This image serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when men like H Warren Smith dedicated their time and energy to shaping the lives of young people in a rapidly changing world.
