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.

Charles II and Jane Lane: A Moment of Escape Amidst the Chaos of the English Civil War This evocative image captures the fleeting moment when King Charles II of England, clad in disguise, makes his daring escape from the besieged city of Oxford during the English Civil War in 1651. Accompanied by his loyal servant, Jane Lane, the future monarch slips through the shadows of the night, evading the relentless pursuit of the Parliamentarian forces under the command of Oliver Cromwell. The year was 1651, and the Second English Civil War had reached its zenith. The Royalist forces, led by the young and inexperienced King Charles II, had been cornered in Oxford, their supplies dwindling and their morale flagging. Faced with the prospect of defeat, the King and his followers knew they had to act swiftly to avoid capture and certain execution. Jane Lane, a humble servant girl in the King's household, proved to be an invaluable ally in this desperate hour. With her quick wits and unwavering loyalty, she helped the King and a small group of loyalists slip out of the city undetected. They made their way through the treacherous countryside, constantly looking over their shoulders for any sign of their pursuers. This image, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human will to survive, has captured the imagination of historians and the public alike for centuries. It serves as a poignant reminder of the tumultuous events that shaped the history of Britain in the 17th century and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of history.
