17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 evocative photograph captures the spirit of two Zulu warriors engaged in a playful sparring match on a sun-kissed beach during the early 1930s. The men, both clad in traditional loin cloths, wield their swords and shields with practiced ease, their focused expressions betraying the seriousness beneath the lighthearted scene. The Zulu people, an ethnic group indigenous to South Africa, are renowned for their rich cultural heritage and formidable military traditions. This image offers a rare glimpse into their past, providing a window into the lives of these proud and resilient warriors. The Zulu Kingdom reached the height of its power during the late 19th century under the rule of King Shaka, who is credited with transforming the tribe from a collection of small farming communities into a formidable military force. The Zulu warriors were renowned for their discipline, courage, and skill in battle, earning them a fearsome reputation among European colonizers. Despite the passage of time and the challenges of colonialism, the Zulu people have continued to preserve their traditions and maintain their sense of pride and identity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their storied past and the enduring strength of their culture. The setting of the beach adds an intriguing layer to the image, as it juxtaposes the raw power and primal energy of the warriors with the serene and tranquil backdrop of the water. The result is a captivating and thought-provoking image that invites us to reflect on the complexities of history and the resilience of human spirit.
