31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 print from October 1953, we witness a powerful display of colonial authority as British soldiers march through the streets of Georgetown, British Guiana. The image captures the attention of local citizens who line the sidewalks, their curious eyes fixed on the marching troops. The presence of these soldiers in Guyana was not merely ceremonial; they were sent to restore order during a grave constitutional crisis that had unfolded after an earlier election that year. As tensions ran high, it was up to these disciplined men to bring calmness back to the troubled land. As they move forward with synchronized precision, their military band fills the air with patriotic melodies. The sound resonates deeply within both young and old hearts alike – a reminder of a distant homeland across oceans. Children stand wide-eyed at this spectacle before them, perhaps dreaming of one day donning those very uniforms themselves. Colonialism casts its long shadow over this scene as it did throughout much of South America during this era. This photograph is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it encapsulates an entire chapter in history when foreign powers exerted control over far-flung territories. It serves as a poignant reminder for us today to reflect upon our shared past and strive for greater understanding among nations.
