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 evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of The Park in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time to an era of colonial rule and the distinct charm of the African continent in the 20s. The Park, a lush and verdant expanse, is adorned with tall, majestic trees that provide ample shade and shelter from the African sun. The trees, with their outstretched branches and vibrant foliage, create a canopy that adds to the park's natural allure. In the foreground, a gazebo, with its intricate design and whitewashed walls, stands as a testament to the colonial influence that once dominated this part of Africa. The tranquility of the scene is further emphasized by the absence of people, allowing the viewer to imagine the peaceful ambiance that once existed in this idyllic setting. The Park in Bulawayo was a popular destination for the European settlers and their families, who sought refuge from the heat of the day and the hustle and bustle of the city. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when colonialism held sway over much of Africa, and the continent was on the cusp of significant change. The Park in Bulawayo, with its timeless beauty and rich history, remains an enduring symbol of the African continent's past, present, and future.
