FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 hand-coloured illustration depicts an intimate moment between renowned Welsh-born American explorer, Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), and his African companion, Kululu. The scene, believed to have been captured around the turn of the 20th century, shows Stanley in the clothing of an explorer, complete with a rifle and sword, while Kululu sits at his feet, holding a long, thin, rod-shaped object. Stanley, famed for his exploration of Central Africa and his search for the missing explorer, David Livingstone, is said to have met Kululu during his travels in the Congo Free State. The boy's attire, consisting only of a loin cloth, highlights the stark cultural contrast between the two figures. This evocative image, part of the Boswell collection, offers a glimpse into the complex and intriguing relationships that developed between European explorers and the local populations during the era of colonialism. The illustration, with its rich colours and intricate details, serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the world seemed ripe with discovery and adventure.
