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 print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a merchant trade card from 1765. The trade card belonged to Joseph Webb, Jr. , an esteemed merchant and ship chandler based in Boston, Massachusetts during the colonial era. What makes this particular trade card even more special is that it was engraved by none other than Paul Revere himself. The intricate engraving depicts various elements that were significant to the time period. The American colonies' connection with Britain is symbolized by the presence of the Union Jack flag prominently displayed on the card. This serves as a reminder of the close ties between Boston and its British counterparts in terms of trade and commerce. The attention to detail in this advertisement is truly impressive. Delicate engravings adorn every corner, showcasing Revere's exceptional craftsmanship. The text on the card highlights Joseph Webb Jr. 's occupation as a merchant and ship chandler, emphasizing his expertise in these fields. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to a time when Boston was still under British rule, yet already thriving as an important trading hub within North America. It serves as a testament to both Joseph Webb Jr. 's entrepreneurial spirit and Paul Revere's artistic talent. This print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this meticulously crafted trade card but also its significance in documenting an important chapter in American history.
