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 evocative print depicts the renowned Scottish artist David Roberts (1796-1864), a pivotal figure in the history of British art. Roberts is best known for his detailed and romanticized depictions of the Middle East, which he visited during a grand tour in the 1830s. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Roberts showed an early aptitude for art and was apprenticed to a local engraver at the age of 14. He later studied at the Royal Academy in London, where he honed his skills in painting and drawing. In the late 1820s, Roberts embarked on a journey to the Middle East, accompanied by the American artist Charles Robert Leslie. His experiences during this trip would prove to be a turning point in his career. Roberts' paintings and engravings of the region captivated audiences in Europe with their vivid colors, intricate detail, and romanticized portrayals of Middle Eastern life. Upon his return to London, Roberts' works were met with critical acclaim and commercial success. He became a member of the Royal Academy and was appointed as the official painter to Queen Victoria. Roberts continued to travel and paint throughout Europe and the Middle East, producing a vast body of work that remains highly sought after by collectors and scholars today. This print captures Roberts in the later years of his life, with a serious expression and a palette of muted colors reflecting the wisdom and experience of a lifetime dedicated to art. The image serves as a testament to Roberts' enduring legacy as a master painter and explorer, whose works continue to transport us to far-off lands and transport us to another era.
