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.

Maharajah Bhupinder Singh of Patiala (1891-1938): A Regal Cricketer in 1909 This evocative photograph captures Maharajah Bhupinder Singh of Patiala in the midst of a cricket match, showcasing his grace and focus as he takes a swing at the ball. Born in 1891, Bhupinder Singh was the Maharajah of Patiala, a princely state in modern-day Punjab, India. He was renowned for his extravagance and grandeur, but his rule extended far beyond the realm of luxury. Bhupinder Singh was a passionate patron of sports and an accomplished cricketer. In 1911, he captained the Indian cricket team that embarked on a historic tour of England. His cricketing prowess extended beyond his native land, as he was also a member of the esteemed Marylebone Cricket Club. The Maharajah's turban, a symbol of his Sikh heritage and royal status, adds an air of regality to this image. The photograph, dated 1909, offers a glimpse into the life of a ruler who balanced the demands of royalty with his love for cricket and his commitment to improving the social conditions within his kingdom. Bhupinder Singh's legacy extends beyond the cricket field. He was a visionary leader who implemented various reforms, including the abolition of child marriage and the establishment of schools and hospitals in Patiala. This photograph serves as a reminder of a remarkable figure who left an indelible mark on both the sporting and social landscapes of his time.
