31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 the grandeur of "The Burghley Christening Cake" created in 1844 to commemorate a joyous christening ceremony at Burghley House, near Stamford, Lincolnshire. The elaborate cake stands as a testament to the opulence and sophistication of Victorian Britain. Decorated with an array of meticulously crafted flags symbolizing national pride, this culinary masterpiece showcases the fusion of religious devotion and artistic flair. As Christianity played a central role in society during the 19th century, this magnificent cake served as both sustenance for guests and a visual representation of their faith. The image transports us back to an era when country houses like Burghley House were not only architectural marvels but also social hubs for celebrations. The intricate decoration on the cake reflects the attention to detail that was characteristic of Victorian aesthetics. Preserved through time by "Illustrated London News" this engraving offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not just an exquisite dessert but also providing insight into religious customs and cultural practices prevalent during that period.
