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 unique moment in history, showcasing a horned Rickshaw man in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the 1920s. The image provides a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Southern Africa at that time, with the British influence evident in the rickshaw and attire of the man.
The juxtaposition of traditional African elements with colonial influences is striking, highlighting the complex dynamics at play during this period. The rickshaw itself serves as a symbol of travel and mobility, reflecting both physical movement and cultural exchange.
As we gaze upon this scene from nearly a century ago, we are transported back to a time when Bulawayo was still known as Southern Rhodesia and Zimbabwe had not yet gained its independence. The man's stoic expression hints at untold stories and experiences, inviting us to imagine what life was like for him in this rapidly changing world.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a historical artifact; it is a window into another era, offering us an opportunity to reflect on our shared past and consider how far we have come since those days. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our collective heritage and honoring those who came before us.
