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 the defining moment in history when Leander Starr Jameson, a prominent figure in colonialism, was taken prisoner after the failure of the infamous Jameson Raid. The raid had an ambitious aim - to spark a rebellion among British settlers or Uitlanders in Johannesburg, South Africa. However, on that fateful day of January 2nd, 1896, Jameson and his troop of 500 were overwhelmed by Boer forces and forced to surrender. The image exudes a sense of defeat and resignation as we witness Jameson's capture. His expression reflects both disappointment and determination despite facing adversity. This photograph originally appeared in Le Petit Journal Paris on that very same day, serving as a powerful visual testament to this significant event. The failed Jameson Raid not only marked a turning point for British colonial ambitions but also highlighted the resilience and strength of the Boers who defended their land against foreign interference. It is through images like these that we gain insight into pivotal moments in history and reflect upon the consequences of imperialism. As we delve into this historical snapshot captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), it is important to acknowledge its significance beyond commercial use. This photograph serves as a reminder of past struggles while encouraging us to question our present actions regarding power dynamics between nations and respect for sovereignty.
