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 intriguing photograph captures a moment in theatrical history between two influential figures of the Victorian era: Henry Irving (1838-1905), the legendary actor-manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, and Frederick Balsir Chatterton (1834-1886), theatre manager and proprietor of the Standard and Daily Telegraph newspapers. The setting is the rehearsal room of the Lyceum Theatre in 1884, with a bust of Shakespeare in the background serving as a silent witness to their conversation. In the foreground, Chatterton, wearing a top hat, is seen scolding Irving, who stands with his back to the camera, wearing a simple suit and holding a paper. Chatterton's words, spoken with a stern expression, are clear: "Don't spend too much time and money on that ungrateful old man. Look how he served me!" The context of this exchange is rooted in the intense competition between the two theatres, the Lyceum and the Standard Theatre, and the critical reviews that each theatre received in the other's newspapers. Irving, known for his exceptional Shakespearian acting, was a favorite target of Chatterton's criticism. Despite the apparent tension, this photograph offers a glimpse into the complex relationships that existed between theatres, actors, and the press during the late Victorian era. The bust of Shakespeare in the background serves as a reminder of the shared dedication to the Bard's works, even as the two men engaged in their professional rivalries.
