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
In this striking 1895 portrait, Alva Erskine Smith Vanderbilt Belmont, born Alva Smith on November 23, 1853, poses confidently before the camera with an air of regal sophistication. At the time, Alva was a prominent figure in New York society, known for her beauty, intelligence, and sharp wit. She was also a passionate advocate for women's suffrage, a cause that would come to define her later years. Born into a wealthy and influential family, Alva married Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont in 1875, only to leave him in 1895 for Consul Mortimer R. Schiff. The ensuing scandal made headlines and further cemented her reputation as a bold and unconventional woman. However, it was her work as a suffragist that truly set Alva apart. She became a leading figure in the National American Woman Suffrage Association and used her social connections and wealth to advance the cause. In 1913, she organized the famous "Suffrage Parade" in Washington, D.C., where thousands of women marched to demand the right to vote. Despite facing criticism and opposition, Alva remained undeterred. She continued to champion women's rights and was instrumental in securing the passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States in 1920. This portrait captures Alva at a pivotal moment in her life, before she fully embraced her role as a suffragist and social reformer. Her piercing gaze and elegant attire convey a sense of determination and resolve, hinting at the powerful force she would become in the women's rights movement.
