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 print showcases the remarkable Hannah Snell, known as "the Female Soldier" in an engraving by John Faber from 1750. Hannah Snell's story is one of courage and defiance of societal norms. Disguising herself as a man, she boldly joined the Royal Marines for four years during a time when women were not allowed to serve in the military. The portrait captures her with utmost elegance, wearing a bicorn hat that adds an air of authority to her appearance. Despite donning men's clothing and adopting a masculine disguise, there is still a hint of femininity in her gaze, reminding us of the complexities behind her extraordinary journey. Hannah Snell became infamous for challenging gender expectations and breaking barriers at a time when such actions were unheard of. Her decision to cross-dress and live as a man was met with both astonishment and admiration. This engraving immortalizes her renowned status and serves as a testament to her indomitable spirit. John Faber's masterful craftsmanship brings out every detail, capturing the essence of this iconic figure who dared to defy societal conventions. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded that true bravery knows no boundaries or limitations – it transcends gender roles and leaves an indelible mark on history.
