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 etching, titled "Poet, from a Midsummer Nights Dream" transports us back to the enchanting world of William Shakespeare's play. Created by John Hamilton Mortimer in 1775, this print captures the essence of the poet character from Act V, Scene I. In this oval portrait, we see a distinguished male figure adorned with a laurel wreath atop his head. His intense gaze reflects both wisdom and inspiration as he holds a feather quill in his hand. The delicate lines and intricate details bring out the Georgian era aesthetic, showcasing Mortimer's mastery of etching. The Poet's expression seems to be lost in thought, perhaps contemplating the words that will soon flow onto paper or reciting verses from one of Shakespeare's timeless plays. The laurel wreath symbolizes victory and achievement, suggesting that this poet has reached great heights through his artistry. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork is an homage to both Mortimer's skillful craftsmanship and Shakespeare's enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder of how literature can transport us to magical realms while inspiring our own creative endeavors. As we admire this print captured by Fine Art Finder on bridgemanart. com, we are reminded not only of the beauty within art but also its power to ignite our imaginations and connect us across centuries.
