17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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 the remarkable figure of Joseph Paxton, an influential English gardener and architect. Born into destitution, Paxton's life journey is a testament to his indomitable spirit and extraordinary talent. Serving as the Superintendent of the Duke of Devonshire's gardens at Chiswick and Chatsworth from 1826, he transformed these landscapes into breathtaking works of art. However, it was Paxton's crowning achievement that solidified his place in history - the iconic Crystal Palace. Designed to house the Great Exhibition of 1851, this architectural marvel stands as a symbol of innovation and progress during the Victorian era. Beyond his horticultural prowess, Paxton also dabbled in journalism by establishing the Daily News with none other than Charles Dickens as its editor. Not content with just shaping landscapes and influencing public opinion through media outlets, Paxton ventured into politics as well. He became a Liberal Member of Parliament for Coventry in 1854, further cementing his status as a multifaceted statesman. In this engraving from "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria" we witness Sir Joseph Paxton exuding confidence and determination. His legacy lives on through his contributions to architecture, gardening, journalism, politics - all while defying societal expectations imposed upon him due to humble beginnings. This print serves not only as a tribute to one man's incredible achievements but also reminds us that greatness can emerge from even the most challenging circumstances.
