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.

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.

Andrew Carrick Gow (1848-1920): A Historical Portrait of a British Painter's Journey to the Royal Academy This engraved portrait captures Andrew Carrick Gow in 1881, a pivotal moment in his artistic career. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1848, Gow's talent for painting was evident from an early age. He studied at the Royal Scottish Academy and later at the Royal Academy Schools in London. By the age of 30, his dedication and skill had earned him the prestigious title of Associate of the Royal Academy (ARA). Pictured here, Gow is seen in the prime of his career, with a serious yet confident expression. His formal attire and the ornate frame surrounding the portrait reflect the esteemed status he had achieved. The year 1881 marked a significant milestone in Gow's artistic journey, as he was now recognized as one of the leading painters of his time. The Royal Academy, founded in 1768, is one of the oldest and most prestigious art institutions in the world. Being made an Associate was a major accomplishment for an artist, as it signified that their work had been recognized and approved by their peers and the academy's esteemed committee. Gow's association with the Royal Academy brought him international acclaim. He went on to exhibit his works regularly at the academy and became a prominent figure in the British art scene. His paintings, which often depicted landscapes and genre scenes, were admired for their meticulous attention to detail and evocative use of light. This historical portrait of Andrew Carrick Gow serves as a testament to his artistic achievements and his enduring legacy in the world of British painting. The image, created in 1881, is a reminder of the dedication, hard work, and talent required to reach the pinnacle of success in the art world.
