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
This historical print captures the 4th Earl Sandwich, John Montagu, who is traditionally held to be the inventor of the sandwich for eating at the gaming table. In this image from 1792, we see John Montagu indulging in his creation while immersed in a game. The significance of this moment cannot be understated, as it marks a pivotal point in culinary history.
John Montagu's innovation of placing meat between two slices of bread revolutionized mealtime customs and paved the way for a convenient and portable food option that has stood the test of time. His legacy lives on every time we enjoy a sandwich today.
The details captured in this photograph transport us back to 1718 when John Montagu first introduced his creation to society. The intricate patterns on his clothing and the elaborate setting around him provide insight into the opulence of aristocratic life during that era.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their prints online, allowing us to appreciate and reflect on the origins of one of our most beloved culinary staples. This photo serves as a reminder not only of John Montagu's contribution but also as a testament to how food can transcend mere sustenance and become an integral part of cultural heritage.
