23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 photo print, titled "The Life of Thomas Becket" and created by Joseph Strutt in 1801, takes us on a visual journey through the remarkable life of St. Thomas a Becket. The scenes depicted in this print showcase key moments from his life during the 12th century. In one scene, we witness the powerful reconciliation between Thomas and King Henry II. Their meeting is filled with tension and emotion as they put aside their differences for the greater good. Another scene captures Thomas's triumphant return to England, where he was welcomed by his devoted followers. News of knights also plays a significant role in this print, symbolizing both danger and loyalty. It reminds us that even amidst political turmoil, faith can unite people under a common cause. The sepia tones used in this engraving add an air of antiquity to the artwork while emphasizing its historical significance. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from the intricate medieval attire worn by these influential figures to the meticulously crafted boats sailing across calm waters. Joseph Strutt masterfully captures not only religious iconography but also elements of English geography and culture within this piece. Through his artistry, he brings to life an important chapter in British history that continues to resonate today. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are transported back centuries ago when religion held immense power over nations and individuals alike. It serves as a reminder of how faith can shape destinies and inspire acts of courage that echo throughout time.
