23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
Augustus Leopold Egg: A Young and Dynamic English Painter and Friend of Charles Dickens This portrait captures the young and dynamic Augustus Leopold Egg, an English painter who rose to prominence in the mid-19th century. Born in London in 1816, Egg was a contemporary and close friend of the renowned author Charles Dickens. The two men shared a deep connection, with Egg often providing illustrations for Dickens' works and serving as inspiration for some of his characters. Egg's signature dark, slim build and expressive features are on full display in this striking image. His hair, slicked back and parted in the middle, frames his intense gaze, which seems to pierce through the canvas and draw the viewer in. The artist's lean frame and thoughtful posture suggest a deep concentration and dedication to his craft. Egg's painting style was characterized by its historical accuracy and attention to detail. He was known for his meticulously rendered portraits and genre scenes, which often explored the lives of the working class and the marginalized. This focus on the everyday lives of ordinary people set him apart from many of his contemporaries and helped establish him as a leading figure in the English art scene. Despite his success, Egg's life was not without its challenges. He struggled with financial difficulties throughout his career and was forced to sell many of his works to make ends meet. Tragically, he died in poverty in 1863, at the age of 47. Today, Augustus Leopold Egg is remembered as a talented and innovative painter, whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who, despite the hardships he faced, remained dedicated to his art and left a lasting legacy in the world of English painting.
