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
This photograph captures a pivotal moment from the English Opera Group's production of Benjamin Britten's realization of John Gay's classic opera, "The Beggars Opera," during the Aldeburgh Festival of 1963. The scene is set at Newgate Gaol, during Act III, near the end of the performance. In the center background, the infamous Macheath, portrayed by the renowned tenor Peter Pears, is surrounded by the prison guards. To the left of the lower steps, the sinister Lockit, played by Bryan Drake, holds his wife Lucy, portrayed by the luminous soprano Heather Harper. In the right foreground, Polly, played by the esteemed mezzo-soprano Janet Baker, is forcibly restrained by the manipulative Peachum, portrayed by Harold Blackburn, and his wife Mrs. Peachum, played by Anna Pollak. This image encapsulates the tension and drama of this iconic production, which took place at Jubilee Hall in Aldeburgh on June 20, 1963. The 1960s were a time of great innovation and experimentation in classical music and entertainment, and this production of "The Beggars Opera" remains a significant moment in the history of opera and musical theater.
