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 intense gaze and unyielding determination of Lt. General Sir Thomas Picton, an influential military figure during the Georgian era. Painted by Sir William Beechey in 1815, the year of Picton's tragic death at the Battle of Waterloo, the portrait is a poignant reminder of his military prowess and unwavering commitment to duty. Born in Wales in 1758, Picton rose through the ranks of the British Army, earning a reputation as a formidable and effective commander. His military career spanned several continents, with notable service in the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolutionary Wars, and the Napoleonic Wars. Despite his successes, Picton was a complex and controversial figure. Known for his fiery temper and no-nonsense approach, he was a polarizing presence within the military hierarchy. However, his leadership and tactical abilities were undeniable, and he was a key figure in several significant battles, including the Battle of Talavera and the Battle of Waterloo. In this portrait, Beechey expertly captures the intensity and focus in Picton's eyes, conveying the sense of a man completely dedicated to his military duties. The general's uniform and decorations are meticulously rendered, adding to the sense of authenticity and historical significance. Today, this portrait hangs in Apsley House in London, a fitting tribute to a man who played a crucial role in shaping the course of British military history. The portrait serves as a powerful reminder of Picton's legacy and the indelible mark he left on the annals of military history.
