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 series of four photographs chronicles the significant transformations undergone by King George VI during the grand Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey in 1937. In the first image, the King arrives at the Abbey, proudly donning the crimson velvet Robe of State and the Cap of Estate, symbolizing his regal authority. Upon reaching the anointing chair, the King is invested with the Imperial Mantle of Cloth of Gold, intricately embroidered with golden eagles, as a sign of his imperial status. The second photograph captures this moment of investiture, where the mantle is draped over the King's shoulders, adding an aura of majesty and grandeur. In the third image, the King receives the Orb, a symbol of his power and authority, before handing it back and receiving the Sceptre with the Cross and the Sceptre with the Dove. These sceptres are emblematic of the temporal and spiritual powers of the monarchy. Finally, at the end of the ceremony, the King retires to St. Edward's Chapel to change into the Royal Purple Robe of State and wear the Imperial State Crown for his departure from the Abbey. This regal attire, featuring ermine trim and adorned with precious stones, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy. These photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into the ceremonial stages of a Coronation ceremony, providing a unique insight into the rituals, costumes, and regalia that have shaped the history of the British monarchy.
