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 striking photograph captures a moment of pride and patriotism in the colonial history of The Gambia, West Africa. The scene is set at a parade ground where a large group of Scouts, both boys and girls, stand at attention in their neatly pressed uniforms. The Scouts, a symbol of British imperial influence, embody the spirit of discipline, adventure, and community service. The visiting dignitaries, Sir Edward Brandis Denham and his wife, add an air of formality to the occasion. Sir Edward, the Governor of The Gambia, is dressed in his full regalia, complete with a top hat and sash, while his wife wears an elegant dress and hat. The couple's presence signifies the importance of the event and the connection between The Gambia and the British Empire. The Union Jack flag flutters in the background, a reminder of the colonial ties that bind the country to Britain. The Scouts, with their hands saluting, pay their respects to the visiting dignitaries, demonstrating their loyalty and commitment to the colonial administration. The photograph, taken in the late 1920s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of colonialism and imperialism. It is a poignant reminder of the complex and often contentious history of The Gambia and its relationship with the British Empire. Despite the controversial legacy of colonialism, this image also highlights the sense of community and camaraderie that the Scouting movement fostered among young people in The Gambia during that time.
