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, titled "The Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk demanding the Great Seal of Cardinal Wolsey, 1529" takes us back to a pivotal moment in English history. The image depicts an intense confrontation between two powerful dukes and the influential Cardinal Thomas Wolsey during the reign of Henry VIII. In this scene, we witness a clash between religion, politics, and power as the Duke of Norfolk and the Duke of Suffolk demand that Cardinal Wolsey surrender his position as Lord Chancellor by handing over the Great Seal. The tension is palpable as these figures embody conflicting interests within 16th-century England. The print's monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical narrative, emphasizing the gravity of their actions. It transports us to a time when Catholicism held significant influence in British society but was gradually being challenged by emerging Protestant ideals. Through this artwork, we glimpse into Tudor-era Britain - a period marked by religious turmoil and political upheaval. We witness not only Cardinal Wolsey's disgrace but also gain insight into the intricate web woven by royal power struggles. Created in 1793 by Charles Alfred Ashburton for his History of England publication, this engraving serves as both an educational tool and a visual representation of one crucial episode from our nation's past.
