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 exquisite 18th-century print depicts the renowned English actress Ann Catley (1745-1789) in the role of Euphrosyne from John Milton's classic masque, "Comus." Milton, an influential English poet, wrote "Comus" in 1634, and it was first published in 1637. The masque tells the story of a young woman named Lady, who is lost in the woods and is seduced by the mischievous spirit Comus. Euphrosyne, one of the three Graces, helps Lady resist Comus's temptations and return to her father's house. Ann Catley's portrayal of Euphrosyne is a testament to her exceptional acting abilities. Her graceful pose, serene expression, and elegant costume convey the character's beauty, purity, and strength. The intricate details of her dress, with its delicate embroidery and flowing fabric, add to the overall enchantment of the image. The print, which dates back to the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century theater and the role of actresses in bringing literary works to life. Ann Catley's career spanned several decades, and she was known for her versatility and talent, appearing in a range of roles in both tragedy and comedy. Her portrayal of Euphrosyne in "Comus" is just one example of her remarkable skill and artistry. This print is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the literary and theatrical traditions of the time. It is a reminder of the enduring power of Milton's words and the ability of talented actors like Ann Catley to bring them to life on the stage.
