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 stunning image is taken from the Book of Hours of Marguerite d'Orléans, a beautiful and intricately illuminated manuscript created in France around 1430. The folio showcases two distinct scenes, each occupying a half of the page. On the left, we find a depiction of Mary Magdalene, a prominent figure in Christian tradition, identified by her distinctive attributes of long flowing hair and a jar of ointment. Her contemplative expression and the serene landscape behind her create an atmosphere of quiet reflection. On the right, we are transported to an entirely different world, with a lively scene from the Journey to the Country of Prester John. This legendary land was believed to be located in the Far East and was famed for its abundance of riches and exotic creatures. In this miniature, we see a group of people, including women, journeying through a vibrant and colorful landscape, surrounded by a variety of animals and exotic plants. The contrast between the peaceful scene of Mary Magdalene and the bustling journey to Prester John's land highlights the richness and diversity of the world as imagined during the medieval period. This image, with its stunning use of color and intricate detail, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Gothic period and the enduring allure of the illuminated manuscript tradition.
