31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 evocative photograph captures Bhai Ram Singh at work in the Indian Room of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's beloved Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Dated 1892, the image is taken from the "Royal Tableaux, Osborne" album, which provides a unique insight into the daily life and cultural richness of the royal household during the Victorian era. Bhai Ram Singh, an Indian servant, is seen meticulously arranging a display of intricately designed Indian textiles and artifacts on a long, ornate table. The room, adorned with vibrant Indian motifs and rich colors, reflects the deep connection between the British monarchy and the Indian subcontinent during this period. The Durbar Room, where this scene unfolds, was a significant space within Osborne House, serving as a venue for grand receptions and formal gatherings. The room's decorative scheme, inspired by Indian architecture and design, is a testament to the royal family's fascination with the exotic and the oriental. Bhai Ram Singh's presence in this room underscores the multicultural nature of the household, which was staffed by individuals from various parts of the British Empire. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these individuals, whose contributions were essential to the daily functioning of the royal household and the larger British colonial enterprise. This photograph, with its intriguing subject matter and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the complex and multifaceted relationships between the British monarchy, India, and the Victorian era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural exchanges that shaped this period in history.
