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
1. Title: "Lord Mansfield, Chief Justice of England (1730-1788) - A Portrait of Justice and Reform by David Martin This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, who served as the Chief Justice of England from 1756 until his death in 1788. Painted around 1770 by the renowned artist David Martin, this Georgian masterpiece is now part of the Iveagh Bequest at Kenwood House in London, cared for by Historic England. Mansfield's tenure as Chief Justice was marked by significant legal reforms that shaped the English legal system. He is best known for his role in the Somersett Case (1772), which established that slavery was not recognized in English common law, and for his work on the Habeas Corpus Act of 1772, which strengthened individual liberties and the rule of law. In this portrait, Martin skillfully captures Mansfield's intellectual intensity and the gravity of his role. The Chief Justice is depicted in formal attire, with a serious expression and piercing gaze, suggesting a man deeply engaged in the pursuit of justice. The richly textured fabric of his robe, the intricate detail of his wig, and the meticulously rendered background all contribute to the painting's sense of grandeur and historical significance. As a symbol of the Enlightenment ideals of justice, reason, and the rule of law, Lord Mansfield's portrait continues to captivate and inspire viewers today. This masterpiece serves as a reminder of the transformative power of the law and the enduring legacy of those who have dedicated their lives to upholding its principles.
