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.

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 captures a significant moment in history, depicting William, Duke of Normandy riding to welcome Harold. The artwork is part of the renowned Bayeux Tapestry, an exquisite wool embroidery on linen created by English women in the 11th century. The tapestry beautifully illustrates the events leading up to the Norman invasion and conquest of England in 1066. In this particular scene, Harold is being led to meet Duke William at Eu. The intricate details showcase the entourage accompanying both leaders, with horses and soldiers filling the frame. The tapestry's border decoration features various symbols and motifs from medieval times, including spears, shields, and even a headless bird. The use of vibrant colors and skillful needlework brings life to this historical masterpiece. Sewn with great precision using wool yarn on linen fabric, this textile marvel showcases not only artistic talent but also serves as a visual documentation of one of England's most pivotal moments. It symbolizes the clash between Anglo-Saxons under King Harold's rule and Duke William's invading Norman army. Displayed at Musee de la Tapisserie in Bayeux, France since its creation centuries ago, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its rich narrative and cultural significance. It stands as a testament to human creativity while shedding light on an important chapter in European history - the Norman Conquest.
