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.

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 lithograph, titled "Death of Chatham" transports us back to the 18th century and offers a glimpse into one of history's pivotal moments. Published around 1880, this print is part of the renowned Gallery of Historical Portraits collection. The central figure in this artwork is William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, an influential statesman and Prime Minister from 1766 to 1768. The scene depicts his final moments as he lies dying in the House of Lords. It was during this time that Pitt secured a majority against a motion to make peace with America on any terms. The artist masterfully captures the somber atmosphere within the interior setting, emphasizing both Pitt's aristocratic status and his imminent demise. This poignant portrayal serves as a reminder of the turbulent times surrounding the American War of Independence or Revolutionary War. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time and invited to reflect on Pitt's significant role in shaping history. His unwavering determination not to compromise with America ultimately had far-reaching consequences for both nations involved. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic merit. As it belongs to a private collection and is out of copyright, we can admire it freely without any commercial implications.
