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 evocative image captures Tsar Alexander I of Russia (1777-1825) in a moment of regal authority as he reviews his troops with a soldier faithfully holding aloft the Imperial Standard. The photograph, taken from the Carton Eng collection, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Russian court during the early 19th century. Alexander I ascended to the throne in 1801 following the assassination of his father, Tsar Paul I. He was a highly intelligent and enlightened monarch who sought to modernize Russia and bring it into the European fold. During his reign, he oversaw a series of military campaigns, including the successful invasion of Napoleon's France in 1812, which cemented Russia's status as a major European power. The Imperial Standard, a symbol of the Russian monarchy, is prominently displayed in the photograph. The standard, which featured the double-headed eagle, was a potent reminder of the Tsar's divine right to rule and his connection to the Byzantine and Roman empires. The soldier's unwavering commitment to carrying the standard underscores the loyalty and devotion of the Russian military to their monarch. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the opulence of the Russian court. Alexander I is dressed in the regal robes of a Tsar, adorned with gold and jewels, while the soldier is outfitted in the finest uniform of the Russian military. The grandeur of the setting, with its ornate decorations and grand architecture, further underscores the power and wealth of the Russian monarchy during this period. Overall, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Russia during the reign of Tsar Alexander I, a time of great military and political achievement, and a reminder of the enduring power and prestige of the Russian monarchy.
