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 moment of pride and excitement on the face of 22-year-old Joseph Senghor, a Rover Scout from the 2nd Banjul Troop, as he stands outside the newly constructed headquarters building of the Gambia Scouts Association in West Africa. The image, taken in the late 1960s or early 1970s, depicts Senghor in his full scout uniform, complete with neckerchief and wide-brimmed hat, as he gazes up at the association's sign with a beaming smile. The new headquarters, a symbol of progress and growth for the Gambian Scouts, stands proudly behind him. The Gambia Scouts Association, established in 1935, has a rich history and has played an important role in the lives of many young Gambian boys and men. Scouting in Gambia was initially introduced by the British colonial administration, but it quickly gained popularity among the local population. The movement provided a sense of camaraderie, adventure, and learning opportunities for its members, many of whom went on to hold prominent positions in Gambian society. This photograph is a testament to the enduring impact of scouting in Gambia and the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with being a part of this historic organization. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of youth development and the role that organizations like the Gambia Scouts Association continue to play in shaping the lives of young people in West Africa and beyond.
