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.

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 engraving captures the essence of Elizabeth Billington, a renowned opera singer of the Regency era. Born in 1768 as Elizabeth Weichsel, she rose to fame with her enchanting soprano voice that captivated audiences both in England and Italy. In this portrait, created by Richard Cosway RA and engraved by William Ridley, we see Billington at the height of her career. The intricate details bring out her elegance and poise as she gazes confidently into the distance. Her musical talent is evident even in this static image, as if she is about to burst into song at any moment. Billington's success was not limited to her vocal abilities alone; she was also known for her marriages to prominent musicians James Billington and M. Felissent. This engraving commemorates her triumphant return to the London stage in 1801 after a period away from performing. As we admire this print, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of 18th-century Europe. It serves as a reminder of the immense talent that existed during this time and pays homage to one of its great figures in music history. This remarkable artwork is a testament to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical treasures like these for generations to come.
