23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 the Claymore, a remarkable two-handed Scottish sword dating back to the 16th century. The steel composition of this weapon exudes strength and resilience, reflecting the craftsmanship of the Scottish school that created it. Housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, UK, this historical artifact is a testament to Scotland's rich heritage. The Claymore's distinctive features include a pommel borrowed from a basket-hilt sword and an inscription on its blade that reads "AFORBES". Its name originates from the Scottish Gaelic term "claidheamh-mor" meaning great sword - an apt description for such an imposing weapon. This print allows us to appreciate not only its physical attributes but also its significance within medieval metalwork. The double-edged design exemplifies both functionality and elegance, making it a symbol of power during its time. As we delve into history through this image, let us marvel at how weapons like these played pivotal roles in shaping cultures and societies. Beyond their utilitarian purposes, they embodied cultural identity and represented prowess on battlefields. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this piece without commercial constraints or limitations. Let us cherish this glimpse into our past as we explore humanity's enduring fascination with weaponry throughout different eras.
