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.

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 evocative Victorian painting, titled "Duke of Wellington's Bedroom" (J920041), captures a glimpse into the private quarters of one of history's most renowned military figures. Painted by Thomas Shotter Boys in 1852, the image offers a peek into the Duke's small campaign bedchamber at Walmer Castle in Kent, where he resided as the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. The Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke (1769-1852), is best known for his pivotal role in the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. This victory secured the peace of Europe and established Wellington as a national hero. In this intimate portrait, the Duke's bedroom is adorned with military memorabilia, a testament to his illustrious military career. The room's simple yet elegant decor reflects the understated grandeur of the time. The campaign bed, a portable military bed designed for travel, is the focal point of the painting. It is here that the Duke would have rested during his stays at Walmer Castle, providing a sense of comfort and familiarity amidst his honorary duties as Lord Warden. Thomas Shotter Boys, a prolific English painter, expertly captures the essence of the Duke's personal space, offering a rare glimpse into the life of a man who shaped the course of European history. This painting is not only a valuable historical record but also a poignant reminder of the connection between the private realm and the public figure of the Duke of Wellington.
