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 photograph captures the anticipation and excitement on Likoma Island, Lake Nyasa (now known as Lake Malawi), Malawi, as the local villagers eagerly await the arrival of the Mission Steamer. The British protectorate of Nyasaland, established in 1907, brought significant changes to the region, including the introduction of modern transportation. The image depicts a bustling scene on the shore, with villagers gathered around, some paddling their traditional log boats in the foreground, while others are seen in the background, carrying out their daily activities. The Mission Steamer, a symbol of progress and connection to the outside world, is anchored in the distance, its Union Jack flag proudly flying high. The arrival of the steamer was a much-anticipated event, as it provided a vital link to the outside world, bringing supplies, news, and most importantly, missionaries and educators. The missionaries played a pivotal role in establishing schools and universities, spreading literacy and knowledge, and promoting Christianity. The photograph also highlights the rich cultural heritage of the region, with carved wooden boats and traditional attire adding to the vibrant and colorful scene. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people of Likoma Island during the early 1900s and the transformative impact of British colonial rule.
