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 the essence of a bygone era, featuring three distinguished gentlemen dressed as "The Monks of Kennaquhair" from Sir Walter Scott's novel "The Abbott". The image, taken between 1843-47 by renowned Scottish photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, showcases their artistic brilliance in capturing the spirit of 19th-century Britain. In this full-length portrait, William Borthwick Johnstone, William Leighton Leitch, and David Scott embody their roles with utmost dedication. Clad in elaborate monk robes, they exude an air of mystery and devotion. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in their garments tells a story. Hill and Adamson's expertise shines through this salted paper print from a paper negative. Their mastery of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the intricate textures of the monks' attire. This photograph not only serves as a testament to these artists' technical skills but also highlights their ability to bring characters from literature to life. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece transports viewers back in time. It offers a glimpse into Scotland's rich cultural heritage while paying homage to Sir Walter Scott's literary contributions. Through this image, Hill & Adamson invite us into a world where artistry meets religious symbolism—a visual representation that transcends time and leaves an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
