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 hand-coloured aquatint print from 1800 showcases the majestic Queens College in the University of Cambridge. The artist, Thomas Malton, skillfully captures the grandeur and architectural beauty of this esteemed institution. The scene is set on a serene day along the River Cam, with boats gracefully gliding across its calm waters. A charming bridge connects both sides of the river, serving as a picturesque backdrop to this idyllic setting. A barge and tugboat can be seen navigating through the river, adding an element of transport and movement to the composition. Queens College itself stands proudly amidst lush greenery, exuding an air of scholarly excellence. Its elegant facade is meticulously detailed in this engraving, showcasing intricate stonework and ornate windows that hint at centuries-old wisdom within its walls. This print offers a glimpse into academic life during a bygone era when punts were used for leisurely rides along the river while students pursued knowledge within these hallowed halls. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic mastery. Preserved in private collection today, this artwork allows us to appreciate not only Queens College's architectural splendor but also its enduring legacy as one of Cambridge University's most prestigious institutions.
