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 a moment in time as the 1st Georgetown Scout Group in Janjanbureh, Gambia, West Africa, gathers for a group photo in April 1948. The young Scouts and Cubs, dressed in their distinctive uniforms complete with berets, proudly display their badges and insignia. Among them are their Scout Master A. An Jie and a visiting Assistant Commissioner for Scouts, J. Sanger-Davies. The scene transports us back to the 1940s, a time when Scouting was thriving in various parts of the world, including Africa. The diverse group of boys, some with dark skin and others with fair complexions, embody the inclusive and unifying spirit of Scouting. Their youthful energy and excitement are palpable, as they gather for what appears to be a special occasion. The presence of the visiting Assistant Commissioner, J. Sanger-Davies, adds an air of importance to the gathering. His white uniform and distinguished appearance suggest a man of authority and experience in the Scouting movement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Scouting in Gambia and West Africa during the 1940s. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of the Scouting movement, which continues to bring boys and girls together to learn valuable life skills and build character.
