FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
Captain F Johnstone: A Friend of Edward VII, Circa 1882 This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, featuring the enigmatic figure of Captain F Johnstone, a man who once held the esteemed position of being a close friend to King Edward VII of the United Kingdom. Taken circa 1882, this image offers a glimpse into the personal life of the future monarch, shedding light on the intriguing relationships that shaped his character. Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910, was known for his love of the high life and his extensive social circle. Captain Johnstone, with his dashing appearance and confident demeanor, appears to embody the spirit of the times. Dressed in the height of fashion, with a well-groomed beard and a twinkle in his eye, he exudes an air of sophistication and charm. The exact nature of their friendship remains a subject of historical speculation. Some accounts suggest that Captain Johnstone served as a naval officer under King Edward during his time as Prince of Wales. Others claim that they met later in life, when Edward was already on the throne. Regardless of when or how they first met, their bond was strong, and Captain Johnstone was a frequent guest at Buckingham Palace. This photograph, a testament to a time when monarchs and commoners mingled freely, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the personal life of a king and his friend. It serves as a reminder of the complex and fascinating relationships that have shaped the course of history, and invites us to ponder the stories that lie hidden behind the formal portraits and official records of the past.
