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.

Queen Victoria Makes History - Firing the First Shot at Wimbledon, July 1860
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print, we witness a momentous event in British history. It is July 1860, and Queen Victoria takes center stage as she fires the first shot at Wimbledon. This remarkable illustration by William Barnes Wollen captures the essence of this royal event. Dressed elegantly in her regal attire, Queen Victoria stands tall under a grand canopy within a tent. With determination etched on her face, she holds a Whitworth rifle firmly in her hands. As the monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, she symbolizes strength and power as she inaugurates the National Rifle Association's inaugural meeting. Surrounded by soldiers clad in uniform, both male and female spectators watch with awe as their queen demonstrates her marksmanship skills. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as all eyes focus on this groundbreaking moment. This image not only showcases Queen Victoria's prowess but also highlights her commitment to promoting military preparedness during an era marked by warfare and conflict. Her involvement challenges traditional gender roles while emphasizing the importance of national defense. Through Robert Wilson's masterful storytelling in "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria" we are transported back to this significant chapter in Victorian history. William Barnes Wollen's meticulous engraving brings every detail to life - from the intricate folds of fabric to the intense expressions on each face present that day. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Queen Victoria's indomitable spirit and enduring legacy as one of Britain's most influential monarchs.
