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 evocative 19th century photograph captures the essence of the New Hebrides, an intriguing and culturally rich archipelago located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The native man in the image, hailing from the island of Vanikoro, stands proudly with a traditional bow and quiver full of arrows at the ready. His intense gaze and the intricate patterns adorning his body paint and clothing suggest a deep connection to the land and its ancient customs. The New Hebrides, also known as the New Caledonia Islands, were first discovered by European explorers in the late 16th century, but it wasn't until the 19th century that extensive contact with the outside world began. This period brought significant change to the islands, as European influences began to shape the lives of the indigenous people. Despite this, the people of Vanikoro and other islands in the New Hebrides managed to preserve many of their traditional practices, including the use of the bow and arrows for hunting and warfare. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into a way of life that has largely disappeared. The New Hebrides remained a French and British condominium until gaining independence in 1980, when it became the independent nation of Vanuatu. Today, the islands are known for their stunning natural beauty, diverse cultures, and vibrant traditions, making them a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure and a glimpse into the Pacific Islands' rich history.
