Mother
A photographic print of the Nkoveni Female Leopard caressing one of her two daughters, Stone Drift Female.
Stone Drift Female is named after a small drainage line near the Sand River where she spent much of her early life. Born in February 2021 to the Nkoveni Female and the Maxim’s Male, alongside her sister the Xinkhova Female. Part of the prestigious Sunsetbend lineage, she represents the continuing strength of her mother’s bloodline.
She has established herself primarily in Mala Mala, along her mother’s eastern boundary. Initially spent considerable time in the drainage systems and dense thickets around Stone Drift, but has since shifted her territorial focus eastward.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Preserving the Beauty of Your Hahnemühle Photo Print
Your Hahnemühle Photo print is a premium fine art paper with a delicate finish, renowned for its rich tones, depth, and timeless quality. This surface requires particularly careful handling to preserve its flawless appearance for decades.
Handling Your Print
- Always wear cotton gloves: Prevent oils, moisture, and dirt from transferring from your skin to the paper.
- Handle by the margins: Avoid touching the printed area directly. Hold only by the edges to reduce risk of marks.
- Be mindful of the surface: The finish is susceptible to abrasion. Handle gently and avoid sliding the print across any surface.
- Work in a clean environment: Ensure the workspace is free from dust or particles that could scratch or mark the paper.
Storage
- Use archival materials: Store prints in acid-free, archival-quality envelopes, folders, or boxes to prevent deterioration.
- Store flat: Keep the print flat to avoid bending, creasing, or warping.
- Avoid stacking with heavy objects: Pressure can leave impressions or damage the delicate surface.
- Consider framing: Framing offers long-term protection and allows for safe display.
Display Recommendations
- Avoid direct sunlight: Even archival inks can fade over time with prolonged UV exposure.
- Control humidity and temperature: Prevent exposure to high humidity, damp areas, or extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Low UV lighting: Where possible, use lighting with reduced UV output to minimise fading.
- Choose a safe location: Keep away from kitchens, bathrooms, or areas with airborne contaminants.
A final note: Hahnemühle Photo is a museum-grade paper chosen by fine art photographers and galleries worldwide. By handling it with care, storing it in archival conditions, and displaying it thoughtfully, you'll ensure its beauty and value remain intact for generations.
