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 historic photograph captures a memorable gathering at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, on 4th August 1909. The British and Russian Royal Families came together for a day of camaraderie and diplomacy, marking a significant moment in Anglo-Russian relations. In the foreground, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his wife, Tsarina Alix of Hesse and by Rhine, later known as Alexandra Feodorovna, are seen in deep conversation with King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom. The Prince of Wales, later King George V, and his wife, Mary of Teck, are also present. The Prince of Wales and Tsarina Alix were first cousins, making this a family reunion of sorts. The Tsar and Tsarina had four daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Marie, and Anastasia, who are also featured in the photograph. The Tsarevich, or heir to the Russian throne, Alexei, was not present. This meeting took place during a time of growing tensions between Russia and the United Kingdom, as the two powers jostled for influence in Europe and the Middle East. The warm and friendly atmosphere captured in this photograph stands in stark contrast to the political challenges that would soon unfold. Osborne House, a beloved retreat for the British monarchy since the time of Queen Victoria, provided a fitting backdrop for this grand gathering. The Tsar and Tsarina would go on to spend the remainder of their exile in England after the Russian Revolution, and their daughters would grow up in the United Kingdom. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into a moment of unity between two powerful royal families, a moment that would soon be eclipsed by the tumultuous events of the early 20th century.
