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 showcases a Norse chessman known as the Warder, also referred to as the Castle or Rook. The chess piece originates from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland and carries with it a rich history and mythology. The image portrays a formidable warrior, adorned in armor and armed for battle. His stern expression reflects his occupation as a soldier, embodying strength and resilience. This ancient board game piece serves as a reminder of the strategic nature of warfare during this era. The vibrant colors used in this photograph highlight the intricate details carved into this Norse chessman. Each stroke brings life to its mythical origins, drawing inspiration from Norse mythology where gods and warriors played pivotal roles. As we gaze upon this remarkable object, we are transported back in time to an era when castles stood tall on Scottish landscapes, protecting kingdoms from invaders. The rook symbolizes not only an essential part of the game but also represents an important profession within medieval society. This print by Unknown artist is not just an exquisite representation of artistry; it is also a testament to our fascination with history and pastimes that have endured through centuries. It invites us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind these objects and their significance within broader cultural contexts such as Norse heritage.
