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.

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 portrait captures the intellectual depth and profound wisdom of Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), a renowned Scottish philosopher and historian. The image, titled "Carlyle, Whistler, Col," is a testament to the artistic brilliance of James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), who expertly rendered Carlyle's complex character through his masterful brushstrokes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Carlyle rose to prominence as a historian and social critic, leaving an indelible mark on the literary world with his groundbreaking works. His seminal texts, such as "The French Revolution: A History," "On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History," and "Sartor Resartus," continue to be studied and admired for their insightful commentary on human nature, history, and the role of the individual in society. In this portrait, Whistler skillfully captures the intensity and intellectual curiosity of Carlyle, whose piercing gaze and furrowed brow suggest a man deeply engaged in the pursuit of knowledge. The muted colors and intricate details of the painting further emphasize the depth and complexity of the subject's character, inviting viewers to delve into the rich world of Carlyle's thoughts and ideas. As a leading figure in the Victorian era, Carlyle's influence extended far beyond the realm of academia, inspiring generations of thinkers, writers, and artists. This portrait serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy and the profound impact he had on the intellectual landscape of his time.
