FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 engraving, titled "Alphonse XII Receiving the Congratulations of the Moroccan Embassy," depicts a pivotal moment in Spanish diplomatic history. The image, created by the renowned Spanish artist Arturo Carretero in 1877, captures King Alphonse XII of Spain (1857-1885) in a grand interior, surrounded by a group of Moroccan dignitaries, led by Sultan Mohamed ben Abdallah. The scene unfolds in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, located on the North African coast. Alphonse XII, a member of the Bourbon dynasty, had recently assumed the throne following the death of his father, Amadeo I, in 1874. This meeting with the Moroccan embassy marked a significant turning point in Spain's relations with Morocco, which had been strained due to various conflicts and territorial disputes. The warm and cordial reception extended to the Spanish monarch by the Moroccan delegation signified a new era of diplomacy and peaceful coexistence between the two nations. The intricately detailed engraving showcases the rich cultural fusion of the 19th century, with European and Arab elements intertwined. The European gentlemen, dressed in formal attire, stand alongside the elegantly attired Moroccan diplomats, clad in traditional Arab garb. The room is adorned with ornate furnishings, reflecting the opulence of the era. This evocative image, which first appeared in the Spanish and American Illustration magazine, offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the diplomatic landscape of the late 19th century. It stands as a testament to the power of diplomacy in fostering understanding and cooperation between diverse cultures and nations.
