1873 Engraving Commissioner Ghana Special Accra Glover

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 vintage engraving captures the essence of a significant historical figure, Capt. J. H. Glover, R. N. , who served as Her Majesty's Special Commissioner at Accra, Ghana in 1873. The image showcases the remarkable illustrative technique of 19th-century engraving, transporting us back to a bygone era. Capt. J. H. Glover stands tall and dignified in his Victorian attire, exuding an air of authority and importance. His presence as a special commissioner in Accra highlights the colonial influence during this period of history. The intricate details and delicate lines of this engraved image evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of the artistic craftsmanship that defined the culture and arts during that time. As we gaze upon this retro-styled print, we are reminded not only of Capt. J. H. Glover's role as a special commissioner but also of the broader historical context surrounding Ghana's relationship with Britain in the late 19th century. This historic art piece from 1873 serves as both a visual representation and testament to an important chapter in our shared history—a reminder that even through engravement techniques long past their prime, stories can be preserved for generations to come.
