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 print captures a charming scene from the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich, Kent, in 1821. Painted by the talented artist George Hawkins, it showcases children joyfully playing on the grass with a hoop, kite, and an adorable dog. In the background stand the magnificent buildings of the Royal Military Academy. Established in 1741 to train officers for the Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery, this prestigious institution played a crucial role in shaping Britain's military history. The academy closed its doors in 1939 but left behind a rich legacy. Hawkins' artwork beautifully portrays not only the architectural grandeur of this historic location but also highlights everyday life during that era. The vibrant colors bring out the essence of England's countryside while showcasing children at play. Displayed at Greenwich's Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this aquatint print evokes nostalgia for a time when innocence thrived amidst preparations for war. It serves as a reminder that even within military institutions like Woolwich's academy, there was room for leisure and childhood delight. This remarkable piece is not just an exquisite example of nineteenth-century art; it also offers us glimpses into British society during that period. With its intricate details and lively composition, Hawkins' work continues to captivate viewers today by immortalizing moments of playfulness against a backdrop steeped in history.
