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
Hardwick Old Hall, Derbyshire: A Glimpse into Bess of Hardwick's Grand Entertainments Step back in time to the late 16th century and experience the opulence and grandeur of Hardwick Old Hall in Derbyshire, as depicted in this reconstruction drawing by renowned historian artist Peter Urmston (J980043). This graphic representation transports us to the Great Chamber, the heart of the Elizabethan mansion, where Bess of Hardwick, one of the most influential women of her time, would have entertained her esteemed guests. The intricately carved Tudor fireplace, a testament to the wealth and status of its owner, dominates the scene. The fireplace's elaborate design, with its ornate foliage and grotesque masks, reflects the flamboyant style of the Elizabethan era. The room is adorned with rich tapestries, velvet-covered furniture, and an abundance of flowers, symbolizing the abundance and prosperity of the Hardwick estate. Bess of Hardwick, a formidable and ambitious woman, was known for her extravagant entertainments. She would have spared no expense to impress her guests, who included the great and the powerful of the day. The Great Chamber would have been filled with the sounds of music, the aroma of exotic spices, and the lively chatter of guests engaged in intellectual debates and merrymaking. This evocative drawing invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and scents of a bygone era, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the world of Bess of Hardwick and the grand entertainments she hosted in the magnificent Great Chamber of Hardwick Old Hall.
