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.

The photograph, taken between the years 1780 and 1851, offers a glimpse into the aristocratic world of the 19th century. Lord Petersham, a prominent figure in British politics and society, served as a Member of Parliament for several constituencies throughout his career. He was known for his strong support of the Whig Party and his advocacy for various reforms, including the abolition of the slave trade. In this photograph, the earl is depicted in his formal attire, complete with a top hat and a long, double-breasted coat.

The moment of salute is a symbol of the hierarchy and tradition that characterized the aristocratic world of the time. The groom's respectful gesture underscores the social and political power of the earl, while also highlighting the important role of the groom and the stable staff in the daily life of the aristocracy. This photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the social and political landscape of the 19th century.
