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 enchanting print captures the majesty and grandeur of Copenhagen, the Duke of Wellington's renowned war horse, as it proudly stands amidst the lush greenery of an English garden. The Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), was a celebrated British military leader and statesman, best known for his victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Copenhagen, a magnificent chestnut horse, was a gift from the Danish King Christian Frederick II in 1807 and became an integral part of the Duke's military career. The intricately detailed engraving, held in the Historic England Photo Library, showcases the horse's muscular form and elegant posture, with its ears pricked forward in alertness. The Duke's military accoutrements, including a sword and a plumed helmet, are depicted nearby, further emphasizing Copenhagen's role as a symbol of the Duke's military prowess. The serene garden setting, adorned with trees, flowers, and a picturesque pond, creates a striking contrast to the horse's powerful presence, highlighting the harmony between nature and military might. The engraving serves as a captivating reminder of the historical significance of both the Duke of Wellington and his beloved horse, Copenhagen, in British history. This exquisite print, with its intricate detail and timeless beauty, is a must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the rich tapestry of the past.
