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 striking portrait captures the indomitable spirit and unyielding determination of Horatio, Viscount Nelson (1758-1805), one of the most celebrated figures in British history. Painted by Sir William Beechey in 1802, the year before Nelson's famous victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, this portrait was commissioned by the Admiralty to commemorate his achievements. Nelson's piercing gaze and confident posture convey his unwavering resolve and leadership abilities, which were instrumental in securing Britain's dominance on the seas during the Napoleonic Wars. The admiral's uniform, adorned with numerous medals and orders, proudly displays his numerous victories and accolades. The painting is a testament to the Georgian era's fascination with military heroism and maritime exploration. The intricately detailed background, featuring a map of the Mediterranean Sea and a globe, highlights Nelson's exploits in the Mediterranean and his significant contributions to the exploration and mapping of the region. This portrait, now housed at Apsley House in London, is a national treasure and a reminder of Nelson's enduring legacy as a military and naval leader. It continues to captivate audiences with its powerful representation of a man who defied the odds and shaped the course of history.
