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 15th century illustration, taken from Barbazan's Fabliaux et Contes (1808), depicts the intricate process of arming a knight. The knight, dressed in full military regalia, prepares for battle with unwavering determination. As he lowers his visor, there will hardly be a square centimetre of him showing, leaving only his eyes visible through the narrow slits. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration is a testament to the artistry of the time. The knight's armor, a symbol of protection and strength, covers every inch of his body. His helmet, adorned with intricate designs, sits securely on his head, ready to shield him from incoming blows. His gauntlets, shield, and sword are all within easy reach, ensuring that he is fully equipped for the battle ahead. The illustration also reveals the intimacy of the arming process. A squire, standing behind the knight, assists him in fastening the straps and buckles of his armor. The knight's expression remains focused and resolute, as he readies himself for the trials and tribulations of the battlefield. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of medieval military culture, a time when chivalry, honor, and valor were the guiding principles of knighthood. It serves as a reminder of the courage and dedication required to don the armor and take up arms in defense of one's kingdom and people.
