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 powerful image captures a pivotal moment in the complex and tumultuous history between European settlers and the Indigenous Tasmanian people during the late 1800s. In the photograph, a group of Tasmanian Aborigines are seen fiercely attacking a settler's hut with an array of weapons, including spears and shields, while another Aborigine fires a gun towards the structure. The settler, in response, brandishes a rifle, ready to defend himself and his family. The year was 1870, and the Tasmanian Aboriginal population had been decimated due to disease, dispossession of land, and violent conflicts with settlers. The once thriving Indigenous community had been reduced to a mere handful, and their traditional way of life was under threat. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the social and historical conditions that existed during the colonial period in Australia. The relationship between the Indigenous peoples and European settlers was marked by conflict, mistrust, and misunderstanding. The use of firearms by both parties underscores the devastating impact that European colonization had on Indigenous communities and their traditional ways of life. The photograph also highlights the harsh realities of life for both the Tasmanian Aborigines and settlers during this period. The settlers faced the challenges of building a new life in a foreign land, while the Indigenous peoples struggled to adapt to the rapid changes brought about by European colonization. This image is an important ethnological record of a significant moment in Australian history, providing valuable insights into the complex and often fraught relationship between Indigenous peoples and European settlers during the colonial era. It serves as a reminder of the need to acknowledge and learn from the past, as we work towards reconciliation and a more equitable future for all Australians.
