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 spirit of determination and camaraderie among young Scouts and Cubs in Ghana, West Africa, as they work together to clear a compacted and overgrown compound. The golden sunlight filters through the trees, casting long shadows on the hot and dry ground. The Scouts, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen using manual tools to dig, rake, and carry debris, demonstrating their resourcefulness and resilience in the face of challenging conditions. The history of Scouting in Ghana dates back to the early 1900s, when the first Scout Troop was established in the Gold Coast, as Ghana was then known. Over the decades, Scouting has played a significant role in the country's social, educational, and cultural development, instilling values of discipline, teamwork, and community service. The Scouts and Cubs in this image embody the organization's core principles, as they work tirelessly to improve their community and contribute to its growth. Their dedication and hard work are a testament to the enduring legacy of Scouting in Ghana and the African continent as a whole. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Scouting in West Africa, and serves as a reminder of the transformative power of youth engagement and community service.
