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 ink-on-paper print, titled "Illustration to Gertrude of Wyoming" transports us back in time to the era of the American Revolutionary War. Created by John James Chalon, a renowned English artist from the 18th century, this artwork is housed in the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The scene depicted in this illustration is inspired by Thomas Campbell's romantic epic poem, "Gertrude of Wyoming; A Pennsylvanian Tale" published in 1809. It beautifully captures a serene riverbank setting within the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania. The intricate details showcase various characters and elements that bring life to this historical moment. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to a boat gently floating on the calm river waters. Silhouettes of children can be seen aboard, their innocence contrasting with the backdrop of revolution and conflict that surrounds them. In the distance stands an Iroquois Native American figure, symbolizing both cultural diversity and unity amidst turbulent times. Chalon's skillful use of ink creates an ethereal quality throughout this sketch-like drawing. The delicate lines and shading evoke a sense of nostalgia while also capturing the essence of poetic storytelling. This evocative piece not only serves as a visual representation but also invites us to delve into history through artistry and literature combined. It reminds us that even during times of upheaval, there is still room for beauty and hope along our journey through time.
