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.

The photograph, taken in 1815, depicts the renowned Beau Brummell engaged in a deep conversation with the Duchess of Rutland at Almack's Assembly Rooms, a popular social venue in London.

His polished appearance, with a crisp white cravat and tailcoat, is a testament to his commitment to fashion and personal grooming.

The Duchess of Rutland, dressed in an elegant gown and adorned with jewelry, listens intently to Brummell's words, her expression thoughtful and engaged. The exchange between the two suggests a deep connection, hinting at the complex web of relationships that existed within the high society of 19th-century Britain. This photograph provides a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of opulence, fashion, and social interaction that defined the Regency period.
