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 self-portrait, created by James Jefferys in the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the world of an artist lost in his own thoughts. The image showcases a male figure, his head turned away from us as he focuses intently on writing a letter with a quill pen. The artist's back is revealed to us, emphasizing his solitary and introspective nature. The composition exudes an air of quiet contemplation and concentration. With delicate strokes of brown ink on wove paper, Jefferys captures not only the physical likeness but also the essence of being an artist absorbed in his craft. As we observe him engrossed in reading what he has written, we can almost feel the weight of emotions that must have been poured onto those pages. Originally attributed to John Hamilton Mortimer but now recognized as Jefferys' work, this self-portrait is housed at Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. Its presence within this collection further solidifies its significance within British art history. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when artists relied on their skills with pen and paper to communicate their thoughts and feelings. It serves as both a testament to artistic dedication and a reminder that even centuries later, these expressions continue to resonate with viewers around the world.
