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 John Singleton Copley's masterpiece, "SPENSER: FAERIE QUEENE. The Red Cross Knight". Painted in oil during the late 18th century, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of allegory and chivalry. The focal point of the painting is the Red Cross Knight himself, a character from Edmund Spenser's epic poem "Faerie Queene". Dressed in a striking red gown that symbolizes courage and valor, he embodies the ideals of knighthood. His noble stance and determined expression reflect his commitment to honor and duty. Copley's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. From the intricate patterns on the knight's armor to the delicate features of his face, each element adds depth and realism to this fine art piece. The artist masterfully combines elements from literature, poetry, and fashion to create a visually stunning representation of an iconic character. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this painting serves as a testament to women's role in literature at that time. In Spenser's poem, women play significant roles as both damsels in distress and powerful figures who shape events with their beauty or cunning. This portrayal challenges traditional gender norms prevalent during that era. Whether you are an admirer of English literature or simply appreciate beautiful artwork with historical significance, this print offers a glimpse into an enchanting world filled with knights, fairies, and poetic imagination.
