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 evocative black-and-white photograph from the Terence Gallacher Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we witness a significant moment in British history as the empty coronation coach passes by Westminster Abbey in 1953. The coach, adorned with intricate gold and crimson trim, stands in stark contrast against the grey London sky, while the grand architecture of the Abbey looms majestically in the background. A sea of eager faces, dressed in their Sunday best, crowds the streets, their expressions a mix of excitement and anticipation. The people of Britain have gathered to witness the historic event, the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The empty coach, on its way to pick up the monarch, serves as a symbol of the grandeur and tradition that surrounds the British monarchy. The year is 1953, and the post-war era, known as the Fifties, is in full swing. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II marks a new beginning for the country, a time of hope and renewal. The image captures the spirit of the era, with its focus on tradition, pageantry, and the unifying power of a shared national event. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, is a testament to the rich history and culture of Britain. It is a moment frozen in time, a moment that continues to resonate with people around the world, reminding us of the enduring power of tradition and the collective memory of a nation. The empty coach, passing by the hallowed grounds of Westminster Abbey, is a poignant reminder of the solemnity and significance of the coronation ceremony. It is a moment that encapsulates the essence of the British monarchy and the deep-rooted traditions that have shaped the country's history. This photograph is a precious piece of history, a snapshot of a bygone era, and a reminder of the rich tapestry of stories that make up the fabric of Britain.
