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 vintage photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Franco-British Exhibition held at White City, London, in 1908. The image showcases The Senegalese Village, a pavilion designed to showcase the French colonial territories in Africa, specifically Senegal. The Senegalese Village was a significant attraction of the exhibition, offering visitors an authentic taste of African culture. In this photograph, we see a bustling scene of Senegalese villagers dressed in traditional attire, going about their daily activities. The men are shown working in the fields, while women and children play and socialize. The village was meticulously constructed to provide an immersive experience, with thatched huts, palm trees, and even a traditional marketplace. The exhibition aimed to promote cultural exchange and understanding between Europe and its colonies, and The Senegalese Village was a testament to this goal. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the Edwardian era, with its elegant Victorian-style lantern slide capturing the intricate details of the scene. The use of black and white film adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a fascinating window into the past. The Franco-British Exhibition was a significant cultural event in London's history, and The Senegalese Village was a highlight of the exhibition. This photograph provides a unique perspective into this fascinating moment in history, offering a glimpse into a world that may seem far removed from our own, yet remains an important part of our collective cultural heritage.
