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 showcases a seated portrait of Ram Chandra Lahiri, the Dewan of Cooch Bewar from 1829 to 1842. Created around 1840 by the Bengali School, this artwork measures approximately 17.9 x 13.1 cm and is part of a private collection. In the portrait, Ram Chandra Lahiri is depicted holding a hookah pipe in his left hand, exuding an air of elegance and authority. The identification inscription in black devanagari script above him reads "Ram Chandra Lahiri Cooch Behar Ka Wazir" further emphasizing his prestigious position. The painting itself is executed with opaque pigments heightened with gold on paper, showcasing the skillful techniques employed by the artist. Surrounding the central figure are polychrome floral margins and a wide yellow border that add vibrancy to the composition. This photograph captures not only an exquisite piece of art but also provides insight into historical figures and their lifestyles during the early nineteenth century. It offers glimpses into cultural practices such as smoking addiction through Ram Chandra Lahiri's use of a hookah pipe and references to tobacco-related items like packets and boxes within the image. Overall, this remarkable portrait serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on Bengal's rich cultural heritage during this period.
