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 print captures a significant moment in history, as officials of the Imperial British East Africa Company engage in diplomacy with the Kikuyu people of what is now Kenya. The year is 1897, and tensions are high as negotiations for a treaty unfold between two vastly different cultures.
The image depicts a scene of politics and diplomacy at its finest, showcasing the complexities of colonial rule and indigenous resistance. The British officials appear stern and authoritative, while the Kikuyu people maintain their dignity and pride despite facing immense pressure to concede to foreign demands.
As we reflect on this powerful photograph, we are reminded of the lasting impact that imperialism has had on countless societies around the world. It serves as a stark reminder of the injustices inflicted upon indigenous peoples in the name of power and control.
Through this lens, we gain insight into the intricate dynamics at play during this pivotal moment in history. The clash of interests between colonizers and colonized is palpable, leaving us to ponder the long-term consequences of such interactions.
Ultimately, this print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and challenges us to consider how we can learn from these historical events to create a more just and equitable future for all.
