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 solemn and reverent atmosphere at the burial site of Paul Kruger and his family in Pretoria, South Africa. Dated circa 1906, the image offers a glimpse into the final resting place of the beloved Boer leader and his loved ones, following his death in 1904. President Kruger, a prominent Afrikaner political figure and the last president of the South African Republic of Transvaal, is depicted in the photograph through a marble bust placed atop a grand tomb. Surrounding the tomb are several other marble gravestones, each marking the final resting place of Kruger's family members. The burial site, located in a serene and tranquil cemetery, is adorned with cypress trees and a canopy of foliage, providing a sense of peace and solitude. The site is also adorned with fresh flowers and wreaths, indicating that the graves continue to be visited and remembered by those who cherish Kruger's legacy. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Kruger and his family to the people of South Africa and the Boer community during the early 1900s. The image, taken in the aftermath of the Second Boer War, serves as a testament to the enduring respect and admiration held for Kruger and his family, even in the face of adversity and loss.
