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 print captures a historic moment in Ethiopian history. Haile Selassie, the revered Emperor of Ethiopia, is seen here in his study at the palace in Addis Ababa. The year is 1942, shortly after the defeat of the Italians and his triumphant return to his homeland. Haile Selassie's expression carries a mix of determination and wisdom as he sits surrounded by books and documents, symbolizing his intellectual prowess and dedication to leading his nation forward. This image serves as a testament to his resilience during years of exile in England from 1936 to 1941. The Emperor's return marked a turning point for Ethiopia, signaling the end of Italian occupation (also known as Abyssinia) and restoring independence. On May 5th, Haile Selassie entered Addis Ababa amidst jubilant celebrations that echoed throughout the city. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of Haile Selassie's regal presence but also of the strength and spirit embodied by all Ethiopians during this challenging period. It stands as an enduring reminder of their fight against adversity and their unwavering commitment to freedom. This remarkable image was captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), offering us a glimpse into an important chapter in Ethiopian history that continues to inspire generations today.
