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
1. Title: "Justice and Tranquility: The Office of the Justice of the Peace in Praslin, Seychelles, 1910" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the serene ambiance of the Office of the Justice of the Peace in Praslin, Seychelles, in the early 1910s. The image reveals a quaint, colonial-style building nestled amidst lush, tropical vegetation. The structure, with its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof, exudes an aura of stability and order. 3. Context: The Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, was a British protectorate from 1814 to 1976. During this period, the British administration established various institutions, including the Office of the Justice of the Peace, to maintain law and order. The Justice of the Peace was a magistrate appointed by the British government to handle legal matters, particularly those involving minor offenses. 4. Scene: In the photograph, the Office of the Justice of the Peace is surrounded by tall, verdant trees, their branches reaching out to form a natural canopy. The Seychelles flag, with its blue background and three white stars, flutters gently in the breeze above the building. In the distance, the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and the picturesque coastline can be seen, adding to the idyllic setting. 5. Impact: This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the unique blend of colonial influence and tropical beauty that characterizes the Seychelles. It also highlights the importance of the Office of the Justice of the Peace in maintaining law and order during a time when the islands were under British rule. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the colonial era and the rich history of the Seychelles.
