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, titled "A View of the Capitol of Washington before it was Burnt Down by the British" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Painted by William Russell Birch around 1800, this watercolor on paper captures the grandeur and elegance of the original Capitol building in Washington D. C. The scene is set on a sunny day with clear blue skies, showcasing the architectural brilliance of this iconic structure. The neoclassical design stands tall and proud atop Capitol Hill, symbolizing democracy and power. A carriage drawn by horses gracefully passes by, adding a touch of life to the otherwise serene atmosphere. Little did anyone know at that time that this majestic building would soon fall victim to destruction during the War of 1812 when British forces invaded Washington D. C. Nevertheless, through this artwork, we are reminded of its former glory and significance as both a symbol and home for Congress. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from our private collection today, we can't help but appreciate its artistic value and cultural importance. It serves as a reminder not only of America's resilience but also highlights how art has preserved moments in time for future generations to admire and learn from.
