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
In this evocative aerial photograph, the Swedish Evangelical Mission Station at Geleb, now situated in Eritrea, East Africa, is depicted in its early 1910s splendor. The mission station, nestled in a lush valley, is a testament to the rich history of Christian evangelism and conversion in Africa during the 1910s. The missionaries, predominantly Swedish, brought the message of Christianity and the gospel to the local population, constructing a community that would become a beacon of faith and hope. The image reveals a collection of buildings, including the central mission station, surrounded by traditional African huts. The station's architecture is a blend of European and African influences, with the missionaries' structures standing proudly amidst the huts of the local community. The valley's verdant landscape adds a serene backdrop to the scene, further emphasizing the harmony between the missionaries and the local people. The Swedish Evangelical Mission Society, established in 1859, played a significant role in spreading Christianity in Africa. The society's missionaries, driven by their religious convictions, dedicated their lives to sharing the teachings of Christianity with the indigenous population. The mission station at Geleb was one of their most successful endeavors, serving as a symbol of the enduring impact of religious evangelism on the African continent. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a time when faith, culture, and community intertwined to shape the history of East Africa. The Swedish Evangelical Mission Station at Geleb stands as a reminder of the transformative power of religious beliefs and the enduring connections forged between people from diverse backgrounds.
