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 evocative portrait, titled "B. Reading, Engraver, June 16, 1798," was created by the renowned English artist Samuel de Wilde. The image captures a young man named Burnet Reading, who proudly presents himself as an engraver. Dressed in the fashion of the late 18th century, Reading wears a simple yet elegant outfit. He is depicted leaning on an elbow, exuding a sense of confidence and pride in his occupation. The intricate details of his clothing, from the high-waisted trousers to the fashionable hat, are skillfully etched on white wove paper and tipped to cream wove paper. The portrait is a testament to the heritage of British art and the importance of the arts during this period. It provides a glimpse into the life of a young man from the country who has made a name for himself in the city as an engraver. The portrait is currently housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The image, with its timeless quality, invites viewers to reflect on the past and the evolution of the arts, particularly the art of engraving. This portrait is a reminder of the rich history of art and the people who have contributed to its development throughout the centuries.
