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 captures a historical moment in 1889 when Emperor William II of Germany visited England. The image depicts the Kaiser standing tall, surrounded by a grand naval review at Spithead, while Queen Victoria affectionately addresses him as "Willie Dear". The cartoonist John Tenniel cleverly portrays the interaction between the two monarchs, with Grandma Victoria holding a parasol and pointing towards the magnificent ships on display. The caption highlights the contrast between land-based armies and naval power during that era. Queen Victoria suggests to her grandson that he should appreciate these impressive vessels instead of focusing solely on soldiers back home. This playful remark reflects both the political significance of maritime strength and perhaps also hints at tensions within European politics at that time. The photograph is an intriguing glimpse into late Victorian society, capturing not only the imperial pomp but also revealing subtle political undertones. It showcases William II's visit to England as a significant event in his reign as Emperor of Germany from 1888 to 1918. With its blend of history, politics, and artistry, this image serves as a reminder of an era defined by shifting alliances and growing naval powers.
