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 print captures the remarkable story of Peter Williamson, a Scottish memoirist known for his captivity and sufferings. Created by Robert Cooper in 1821, this portrait depicts Williamson dressed as a Delaware North American Indian. Williamson's life took an unexpected turn when he was kidnapped and taken to North America at a young age. After eventually returning to Scotland, he embarked on a tour of both Scotland and England, assuming the persona of "Indian Peter" and donning Native American attire. The image showcases Williamson in full-length view, wearing an elaborate headdress adorned with feathers. His face is painted with intricate designs that further emphasize his transformation into an indigenous character. The engraving highlights the attention to detail in capturing every aspect of his costume. Published in Henry Wilson's book titled "Wonderful Characters: Comprising Memoirs and Anecdotes of the Most Remarkable Persons of Every Age and Nation" this portrait serves as a testament to Williamson's extraordinary life journey. It also sheds light on the fascination that existed during the 19th century regarding unusual individuals who defied societal norms. Through this image, we are reminded of how history can be shaped by personal experiences and how people like Peter Williamson can leave lasting impressions through their resilience against adversity.
