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 photograph, taken in the year 1919 in Nakuru, East Africa, showcases a settler woman gently cradling a young cheetah cub in her arms. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rugged African terrain, with the sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. The settler, dressed in a long, flowing white dress, exudes a sense of tranquility and wonder as she interacts with the wild animal. The 1910s were a time of post-war exploration and settlement in Africa, as European powers sought to expand their territories and establish colonies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the early settlers and their interactions with the indigenous wildlife. The cheetah cub, with its spotted coat and curious expression, gazes up at its human companion, creating a moment of connection between man and beast. Despite the vast differences in size and species, the settler's tender touch and the cub's trusting demeanor suggest a mutual respect and understanding. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between humans and animals in the African wilderness during the early 20th century.
