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 enchanting colored engraving captures the likeness of Antonio Canovas del Castillo (1828-1897), a prominent Spanish politician of the 19th century. The image, published in "The Spanish and American Illustration" in 1872, showcases Canovas del Castillo in the prime of his career, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a bow tie. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting his role as a key figure in Spanish politics during a time of great change. Born in Granada, Spain, Canovas del Castillo rose to prominence as a conservative politician, leading the Liberal-Conservative Party and serving as Prime Minister from 1875 to 1879 and again from 1884 to 1897. His tenure was marked by a period of political stability and economic progress, known as the Restoration, following the chaotic aftermath of the Carlist Wars. Despite his conservative leanings, Canovas del Castillo was known for his pragmatism and ability to work with liberals, earning him the moniker "El Arbitrista" or "The Schemer." His mustache, a common fashion accessory of the time, adds a touch of distinction to his portrait. This image, with its intricate engraving and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the historical context of 19th-century Spain and the complex political landscape of the time. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Antonio Canovas del Castillo and his significant contributions to Spanish history.
