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
In this vintage photograph taken in Accra, Gold Coast on June 17,1943, Mallam Isq Katsina (left) and Mallam Bello Kano (right) can be seen broadcasting from the Gold Coast Africa Broadcasting station. Dressed in traditional native attire, these two men were instrumental in bringing news and entertainment programs to the people of British West Africa in their own language. The image captures a significant moment in history when radio communication played a vital role in connecting Africans with the outside world. With their monochromatic studio as a backdrop, these broadcasters used their voices to inform and entertain listeners across the region. It is important to note that at the time this photo was taken, Ghana was known as the Gold Coast. However, it would go on to gain independence from British colonial rule in 1957 and become known by its present name. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era where communication technology was still evolving but already making waves across continents. The dedication of individuals like Mallam Isq Katsina and Mallam Bello Kano paved the way for future advancements while simultaneously preserving African culture through radio broadcasts. Today, we can look back at this historic image with admiration for those who brought information and entertainment to millions during a time of great change.
