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 print, titled 'Reception of the Siamese Ambassadors, with Presents, by Her Majesty, at Windsor Castle, 1857,' transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and diplomacy. The image, created by an unknown artist for the Illustrated London News, showcases a significant moment in international relations between Britain and Siam (now Thailand). The scene is set at Windsor Castle, where Queen Victoria and her court are assembled in state, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Siamese Ambassadors. As the door to the audience chamber opens, the ambassadors and their suite, consisting of eight individuals, make their entrance. They proceed to make profound salaams and throw themselves on their knees before the Queen, maintaining this posture as they approach the throne. The principal ambassador then reads his address to Her Majesty. The exit from the audience is equally ceremonial, with the ambassadors retreating in a retrograde movement, keeping their faces towards the Queen. The room is adorned with exquisite chandeliers and intricate fortifications, while the ambassadors and their suite are dressed in their finest apparel. The men wear military uniforms, while the women are elegantly dressed, reflecting the fashion of the time. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the customs and protocols of diplomatic receptions during the 19th century. It is a testament to the importance of international relations and the role of diplomats in maintaining peace and fostering alliances between nations.
