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
In this striking photograph, taken in 1901, the massed ranks of Colonial troops in Jamaica, West Indies, pay their respects to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, as they acknowledge the Royal Salute. The Duke and Duchess, later known as King George V and Queen Mary, were on an eight-month royal tour of the British Empire, aiming to strengthen the connection between the mother country and its colonies. The troops, dressed in their full military regalia, stand at attention, their weapons at the ready. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the vibrant colors of the soldiers' uniforms and the lush greenery of the background. The air is filled with the sound of drums and the crisp commands of officers. The Royal Salute is a time-honored tradition, dating back to the 17th century, where the monarch is greeted with a 21-gun salute and a military salute. This gesture of loyalty and respect is a powerful symbol of the monarchy's influence and the unity of the British Empire. The photograph captures a moment in history, a snapshot of a bygone era, when the British Empire stretched across the globe, and its power was felt in every corner of the world. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the British monarchy and the deep connection between the mother country and its colonies. The photograph is a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and providing insight into the military and political landscape of the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to shape our world today.
