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 photograph, created by C.R for the Illustrated London News in 1876, immortalizes a significant moment in Gibraltar's military history. The future King Edward VII, then known as H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, is depicted in the image, engaging in a ceremonial act of laying the foundation-stone of the new Alexandra Battery at the Head Mole. Dressed in an elegant military uniform, the Prince is surrounded by soldiers and men at work on the construction site. The 38-ton gun battery, a crucial addition to Gibraltar's defenses, is taking shape in the background. The Prince's visit to Gibraltar was marked by grandeur and pomp, as evidenced by the lifting gear and mechanical mechanisms employed in the foundation-laying ceremony. The Prince's attire, with its rich colors and intricate details, adds to the overall visual appeal of the image. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur of the British monarchy during the 19th century and the importance of Gibraltar as a strategic military stronghold. The Illustrated London News, a leading newspaper of the time, documented this event for its readers, providing them with a glimpse into the ceremonial proceedings and the fashion of the day. The image, with its meticulous attention to detail and evocative composition, continues to captivate viewers and offer insights into the past.
