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 evocative photograph captures the scene outside The Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa, during the early 1900s. Located near Centurion in the Gauteng province, this historic medical institution holds a significant place in the country's history. Established in the late 19th century, The Hospital played a crucial role during the South African War, also known as the Anglo-Boer War, which took place from 1899 to 1902. The conflict between the British and the Boer republics resulted in numerous casualties, and The Hospital became a vital center for treating wounded soldiers from both sides. In this image, we see a bustling scene of activity, with medical personnel, nurses, and civilians working together to provide care and support. The hospital's red-roofed buildings stand proudly in the background, surrounded by tents and makeshift structures that housed additional patients and staff. Wagons and carriages are parked nearby, suggesting the constant flow of supplies and personnel. The Hospital in Pretoria represents a time of great turmoil and transformation in South African history. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during a pivotal moment in the country's past, when people from diverse backgrounds came together to provide care and comfort in the face of adversity. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the history of healthcare and the human spirit during a time of conflict.
