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 photograph captures Ras Makonnen Walda-Mika el Guddisa, a pivotal figure in Ethiopian history, in his role as the general and governor of Harar province around 1890. Born in 1852, Ras Makonnen was a prominent military leader and a key advisor to Emperor Menelik II. He played a crucial role in the expansion of the Ethiopian Empire, particularly in the conquest of Harar in 1887. Ras Makonnen's military prowess and political acumen earned him the respect and loyalty of his people, as well as the recognition of the imperial court.

In this photograph, Ras Makonnen is depicted in military uniform, exuding confidence and authority. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and focus, reflecting the challenges and responsibilities he faced as a leader during a time of great change in Ethiopian history. The image offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable man, who played a significant role in shaping the course of Ethiopian history.
