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 black-and-white photograph captures the moment of pride and camaraderie between Troop Leader John Lewis and the young scouts of St. Mary's Own Troop in Georgetown, British Guyana, South America. The image, taken in the mid-20th century, showcases the scouts in their full uniforms, donning berets adorned with the troop's badge, neckerchiefs, and badges on their sleeves. John Lewis, the troop leader, stands confidently among his charges, wearing his own distinctive leader's uniform and holding a whistle in hand. His warm smile and the bright, eager expressions of the scouts convey a sense of adventure, learning, and community. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its representation of the Scouting movement in Guyana, a British colony at the time. Scouting, which originated in the UK, had spread to various parts of the British Empire, including Guyana, and played an essential role in shaping the lives of young boys by instilling values of discipline, leadership, and citizenship. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural and historical ties between Guyana and the UK. The uniforms, with their intricate details and badges, reflect the sense of pride and belonging that the scouts felt as members of St. Mary's Own Troop. The photograph also highlights the universal appeal of the Scouting movement, which transcends geographical boundaries and continues to inspire and shape the lives of young people around the world.
