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
1. Title: A Tree on the Equator: An Unusual Sight of a Caravan Passing by a Large Tree Marked with a Distance Sign to Selfridges, Africa, 1910 2.. In an intriguing blend of the exotic and the mundane, this photograph from 1910 captures a large caravan making its way along the Equator in Africa. The tree in the foreground, standing tall and proud, adds a sense of grandeur to the scene. But what makes this image truly remarkable is the sign attached to the tree, which bears an unlikely notation: the distance to Selfridges & Co. Ltd. in London. 3. The tree, located in an otherwise remote and untouched part of the African continent, stands as a testament to the far-reaching influence of the British Empire during the early 20th century. The sign, placed on the tree, serves as a quirky reminder of the long journey that lay ahead for the travelers, connecting them to the bustling streets of London and the renowned department store, Selfridges. 4. The caravan, with its long line of vehicles and animals, passes by the tree, adding an element of motion and dynamism to the otherwise static image. The scene is filled with a sense of wonder and humor, making it a fascinating oddity from the past. 5. This photograph, with its unusual juxtaposition of the African wilderness and the British influence, offers a glimpse into the rich history and the intriguing stories that unfolded during the colonial era. It is a reminder of the interconnectedness of the world, even in the most unexpected places.
